Rare earth elements (REE) are necessary for advanced technological and energy applications. To support the emerging need, it is necessary to identify new domestic sources of REE and technologies to …
As monazite is chemically and thermally stable concentrate in the form of crystalline phosphate mineral, it is difficult to dissolve such material in acids or alkali. It requires a suitable condition to leach out the complex materials/metals present in the monazite using acidic or alkaline solutions. 3.1.1.
Hydrometallurgy involves the use of aqueous chemistry for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials.This process is used in extraction of less electro positive or less reactive …

The effect of biodegradable chelating agents on the recovery of rare earth elements (REE) from clay minerals via ion-exchange leaching was investigated, with the aim of proposing a cost-effective, enhanced …
application of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) to mineral processing wastes (and manufactured gas plant wastes). The Court remanded the TCLP to the Agency for review and, if necessary, further action. This report provides historical background on the issue of the applicability of the TCLP to mineral processing …
In principle, for leaching copper from chalcopyrite, the sulfide of the valuable metal in the mineral must be oxidized into soluble sulfate. The mechanism of the oxidation leaching of chalcopyrite is oxidizing sulfides to oxides by oxidants with high redox potential, and then the valuable metal enters the solution in the form of ions and is ...
