Rare-earth mineral (REM) deposits can be broadly classified into four geological environments: carbonates, alkaline/peralkaline igneous rocks, placers and ion adsorption clays. Apart from ion adsorption clay deposits, which require no mineral processing steps, froth flotation is the most applied beneficiation technique. This paper reviews the ...

Various depressants and surface modifying agents were assessed for both direct and reverse flotation separations. Results showed that the direct flotation does not offer a solution for the selective recovery of P from WC. Despite their documented affinity for apatite and rare earths, hydroxamic acid collectors do not produce a selective separation.

Bastnaesite is an important rare earth mineral and is usually beneficiated by flotation. Sodium silicate is commonly used to depress calcium-bearing gangue minerals, however it can also depress bastnaesite when Ca 2+ ions exist in the pulp. In this study, the effect of Ca 2+ ions and sodium silicate individually or in combination on bastnaesite …

The rare earth elements (REE) are a group of 17 chemically similar elements consisting of the lanthanides, yttrium (Y) and scandium (Sc). Their unique physical and chemical properties have made them essential to state-of-the art equipment (e.g., magnets, catalysts, batteries). However, these same properties make them difficult to mine and ...

The third stage of leaching process is to leach ion-absorbed rare earth ores in situ. The leaching agent solution is injected into the ore body to selectively leach rare earths; the leachate is collected through the specific channels at the bottom of the ore body and pumped to the plant at the surface of the land for further treatment to recover rare earths.
