Extraction of Rare-Earth Elements from Silicate-Based Ore through Hydrometallurgical Route
|
|
|
Among the extractive routes currently adopted, the hydrometallurgical route has the advantage of producing high-purity products even at low concentrations, as in the case of rare-earth elements. The processing route can vary according to the rare-earth mineral. Monazite extraction, for instance, a phosphate mineral, can be achieved by sulfuric acid digestion (200–220 °C) and further purification steps, such as precipitation and solvent extraction; alkali treatment at 140–150 °C with sodium hydroxide 70% is also used. Bastnasite ore can be processed by hydrochloric acid 10%, sulfuric acid concentrated at 480 °C, or calcination before leaching (Read more) |
