Related to is a system for preparing xylose liquid by continuously hydrolyzing hemicellulose, including a neutralizing unit, an acid-adjusting unit, a feeding unit, a liquefaction ejecting unit, a feed and discharge heat-exchanging unit and a discharge controlling unit. The neutralizing unit includes a raw material tank, a neutralizing concentrated sulfuric acid pump and a neutralizing pipeline mixer, the acid-adjusting unit includes an acid-adjusting concentrated sulfuric acid pump, an acid-adjusting pipeline mixer and an acid-adjusting tank, the feeding unit includes a feed tank, the liquefaction ejecting unit includes a liquefaction ejector and a liquefaction maintainer, the feed and discharge heat-exchanging unit includes a plate-type teed and discharge heat exchanger and a first discharge temperature sensor, and the discharge controlling unit includes a discharge valve and a reflux valve. The obtained xylose liquid exchanges heat with the hemicellulose liquid in the plate-type feed and discharge heat exchanger to decrease a temperature of the xylose liquid, whereas a temperature of the hemicellulose liquid is increased. Further disclosed is a method using the system. The simultaneous feed and discharge heat exchanges greatly reduce energy consumption, and feed and exchange are continuously run, thereby improving the production efficiency and simplifying manual operations.

A carbonator reactor includes a cylindrical body, a nozzle for supplying a gas stream, inside the carbonator reactor and above the surface of a liquid phase and where the nozzle is located at the top of the reactor body, an inlet, an outlet, means for regulating the temperature and the pressure, a stirring system and at least one baffle regulating the stirring of the liquid phase and the mass transfer of the gas into the liquid surface, at least one impeller having inclined blades that make an angle from 5° to 60° with respect to the vertical axis. The reactor prepares sodium carbonate and has a configuration for the mass transfer of a gas phase in a liquid phase. A method for the preparation of sodium carbonate by means of the carbonator reactor by capturing CO.sub.2 in an NaOH aqueous solution, directly on the free surface of the liquid phase.

Mixed rare earth carbonate may be prepared by mixing a rare earth sulfate solution with a precipitating agent comprising a first sodium carbonate (Na.sub.2CO.sub.3) solution, to form a first mixture, and generating a higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake from the first mixture. The higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake can be mixed with a second sodium carbonate (Na.sub.2CO.sub.3) solution to form a second mixture, and a lower sulfate rare earth carbonate can be generated from the second mixture.
