To extract rare earth elements (REE) of yttrium (Y) and cerium (Ce) from yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) fluorescent powder, experiments were performed for YAG by adopting direct acid leaching and roasting-acid leaching process, respectively. The effects of various factors on the leaching rates of Y and Ce were investigated, including roasting agent types and dosage, roasting temperature, roasting time, as well as leaching temperature and leaching time. It is shown that YAG fluorescent powder is stable in structure, while Y and Ce elements therein, not in the form of simple oxides, cannot be effectively extracted by direct acid leaching; a roasting pretreatment can effectively destroy the structure of YAG fluorescent powder, and convert the rare earth elements into oxides, which is beneficial to the following acid leaching process. After 2 h roasting at 900 ℃ with YAG and Na2CO3 in a mass ratio of 1∶0.5, and then 1 h leaching at 60 ℃ with HCl at a concentration of 3 mol/L, a liquid-solid ratio of 20 mL/g, and 1.2 mL/g of hydrogen peroxide, the leaching rates of Y and Ce can reach 97.23% and 84.91%, respectively.
