    摘要: Provided is a method of recovering rare-earth elements by performing slight pH adjustment of a leachate, which does not require such significant pH adjustment as in conventional methods, reduces cost and effort, and can efficiently recover rare-earth elements in a bauxite residue in a good yield. The method of recovering rare-earth elements is a method of recovering rare-earth elements, the method including: a leaching step of bringing a raw material bauxite residue, which is produced as a by-product in a Bayer process, into contact with a liquid leaching agent to recover a leachate containing rare-earth elements; an extraction step of bringing the leachate into contact with an extraction treatment liquid containing a phosphoric acid ester-based extractant to recover an extract liquid containing the rare-earth elements; and a back extraction step of bringing the extract liquid into contact with a back extraction treatment liquid to recover the rare-earth elements, the leaching step including recovering a leachate having a pH of 0.5 or more and 1.2 or less by using an acidic liquid leaching agent, the extraction step including adjusting the pH of the leachate to 1.0 or more and 1.7 or less and then bringing the leachate into contact with the extraction treatment liquid.

    摘要: A hearing device (HD) incorporates a method for adaptive cancellation of acoustic feedback (AF). The method comprises generating an estimated feedback signal (EF) and subtracting the estimated feedback signal (EF) from the microphone signal (MS) before feeding it to a signal processor (SP) providing the primary hearing device function. The estimated feedback signal (EF) is generated in an adaptive filter (FE1), which is controlled using a least-mean-square algorithm, which operates on an error signal (E) and a reference signal (R). The algorithm may behave erroneously if the feedback path changes while a signal with low HF content, such as speech, is received. In this case, the hearing device (HD) will not be able to quickly adapt the HF characteristic of the adaptive filter (FE1) to the changed conditions. The adaptive filter (FE1) may thus have an incorrect HF gain when a subsequent signal with high HF content is received. This may lead to whistling or, alternatively, to an unwanted suppression of the subsequent signal. The problem is solved by modifying a filter function (H) applied to the error signal (E) and to the reference signal (R) in dependence on estimated relative amounts of high- and low-frequency signal content in the microphone signal (MS).
