Taking the magnetism of rare earth minerals into account, high-intensity magnetic separation is commonly used as a means of pre-enrichment of REY - bearing minerals or purification of flotation concentrate in the existing process. In addition, flotation is one of the physical beneficiation methods often used in the separation of …
Rare earth minerals in the thickener underflow were enriched using fatty acid as collectors at pH 9.0. Concentrates with nearly 400 ppm of REE and 20% recovery were achieved. Flotation seems to be ...
It has been found that impurity elements, particularly rare earth elements (REE), may contribute to the colors. For instance, ... Fatty acids are prevailing as they allow flotation of many non-sulfide minerals while being relatively friendly to the environment [58]. As a common derive of fatty acid, sodium oleate ...
Alkaline rock-type rare-earth (RE) ores have significant utilisation value. However, the exploitation of such resources faces great challenges owing to the complex mineral and element assemblages. Composite collectors exhibit excellent performances, which may provide solutions to the flotation problem of alkaline rock-type RE ores. …
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.
Bastnäsite is an important mineral resource in the production of rare earth materials and is usually beneficiated by flotation. The flotation of bastnäsite is problematic due to the competitive ...

The flotation of rare earth (RE) minerals (i.e. xenotime, monazite-(Nd), RE carbonate mineral) from an ore consisting mainly of silicate minerals (i.e. primary silicate minerals and nontronite ...
Semisoluble salt minerals are characterized by their ionic bonding and are distinguished from soluble salt minerals by their limited solubility in water. One group of semisoluble salt minerals being considered is the alkaline earth salt minerals, including fluorite (CaF2), calcite (CaCO3) and apatite (Ca5F (PO4)3), as well as celestite (SrSO4) …
Rare earth minerals (REMs) such as bastnaesite, monazite, and xenotime are of considerable significance since they are the main commercial sources for rare earth elements (REEs) with cutting-edge applications. Fundamental understanding of surface properties of REMs is essential to identify the reactions taking place at different …
Recently, the flotation of major rare earth elements (REE) minerals including bastnasite, monazite, and xenotime has been attracting high level of attention. However, there are numerous challenges associated with achieving selective recovery of REE minerals from different gangue minerals. Paramount among the challenges is the …
Microflotation experiments were conducted on bastnaesite ore with a head grade of about 7.7 % rare earth oxide. Collectors 2, 5, and 8 showed a selectivity for bastnaesite and rejection of the gangue minerals: calcite, barite and silicate. The results were used to estimate parameters for bench flotation.
The micro-flotation experiments showed that the flotation recovery increased up to approximately 93.00% and 48.50% at 100 ppm for EDA and R845N, respectively. A strong relationship between flotation recovery and bubble …
This study presented the first in a series of investigations currently underway to develop efficacious, cost-effective, and benign processing opportunities to produce rare earth elements (REE ...

The flotation process is considered one of the most important techniques to separate rare earth minerals from associate minerals and is commonly applied to the beneficiation of rare earth ores. It is worth mentioning that this separation method is used to separate minerals by exploiting the differences in their surface wettability [ 12, 24 ].
Rare earth elements (REE) are abundant in the Earth's crust, usually mineralized with bastnäsite, monazite, florencite, xenotime, and ion adsorption clays; however, economic grades are comparatively less common than most valuable minerals and metals [1,2,3].Most of the global rare earth oxides (REO) production presently …
This enables more efficient flotation of the rare earth minerals. Fig. 2.13. Low magnetic separation, high magnetic separation, flotation process. Full size image. Sodium silicate is used as a depressant and H 2 O 5 as collector. H205 is a kind of hydroxamic acid with amide as the polar end and aromatic hydrocarbon as the non-polar …
The rare earth elements in ion-adsorbed rare earth ores are mainly adsorbed on mineral surfaces in the form of hydrates and hydroxyl hydrates [6,7]. Therefore, traditional beneficiation methods, such as gravity separation, magnetic separation and flotation, cannot enrich such rare earths but they can be recovered by ion exchange in …
Fluorite (calcium fluoride—CaF2), also known as fluorspar, is an industrial mineral used in metallurgy, hydrofluoric acid production, and ceramics manufacturing. Based on the results from a previous study, a low-grade fluorspar by-product (20.0% CaF2) originating from the exploitation of a rare earth carbonatite deposit can be improved to …
Rare earth mineral separation by flotation is a complex procedure. The objective of this review was to present and identify the effects of different flotation conditions on monazite and xenotime flotation. From the available literature, it can be concluded that the main reason for PZC differences in monazite and xenotime is …
The lanthanides are more commonly referred to as rare earth elements (REEs). Approximately 250 rare earth minerals (REMs) are known but vary in their …
The flotation of rare earth (RE) minerals (i.e. xenotime, monazite-(Nd), RE carbonate mineral) from an ore consisting mainly of silicate minerals (i.e. primary …
Common rare earth (RE) minerals, such as bastnäsite and monazite, may be formed in deposits associated with carbonate gangue, such as calcite and dolomite. Sodium oleate is a widely used collector for the flotation of both RE and gangue minerals, which might, therefore, be an inefficient process due to the lack of selectivity of this collector. …

Potential ionic-liquid (IL) collector for flotation of rare earth bearing minerals. Superior selectivity of IL vs. hydroxamic-acid collectors for rare earth mineral flotation. Nature of IL interaction studies by zeta potential, FTIR and XPS measurements. IL chemisorbed on RE minerals via its anion while cation involved in weaker ...
Hydroximic acids are very effective collectors in the flotation of rare earth minerals (Che and Yu, 2004, Nagaraj, 1987, Pradip, 1988), which exhibit better selectivity with calcium baring gangue minerals. Based on this, it is reasonable to imply that macromolecular containing more than one hydroxamic group could be used as selective …
