Phosphorite, or phosphate rock, is the most significant secondary rare-earth resource. It contains high amounts of phosphate-bearing minerals along with low contents of rare earth elements (REEs).

Adding active silica (SiO 2) to reduce the free fluoride content is a known method to improve the filterability of phosphogypsum (PG) during wet phosphoric acid (WPA) processing of phosphate rock (PR).Besides, this process can also promote the transfer of valuable rare earth elements (REE) from the PR into the liquid phosphoric …

The rare earth elements (REEs), uranium (U) and thorium (Th) isotopes found naturally in soil, rock, water and plant. About 20 samples of Black sand and phosphate were collected from different locations in the Rashid city, Egypt. All the collected

A study from Egypt examined REE contents in super-phosphate fertilisers and its components (rock phosphate, limestone and sulfur) sampled from a phosphate factory (Abdel-Haleem et al., 2001). Most of the REE accumulated in the produced P fertiliser were originally from limestone except for Sc and Eu which were found in rock …

Rare earth element based technologies underpin an increasingly broad range of industrial sectors (Long et al., 2010; Service, 2010). These elements, grouped because of their chemical and physical ...

1. Introduction. Rare earth element based technologies underpin an increasingly broad range of industrial sectors (Long et al., 2010, Service, 2010).These …

As a nonrenewable resource, phosphate rock is an important support for the development and survival of the national economy. The regional distribution and output of phosphate rock in China are extremely uneven, and the amount of high-quality ore resources is relatively poor, which seriously restricts the development and utilization of …

His background in organic chemistry inspired him to patent the technology. The biggest source for rare earth elements, he said, is not in the ground, but in phosphate industry byproducts like phosphogypsum. "There are enough rare earths in the phosphate waste in the U.S. to meet the U.S. demand for rare earth metal annually," he said.

Uses of Rare Earths. Chatham Rise rock phosphate includes 15 of the 17 recognised rare earth elements, excluding only scandium and promethium. The uses and applications of these rare earths are listed in the table below.

The rare earth elements and yttrium (i.e., the REEs) are of increasing economic interest due to their important strategic use in various high-tech industries (Kato et al., 2011).Currently, the world's REEs are mainly obtained from igneous-related carbonatite and ion adsorption clay-type deposits (Hatch, 2012, Kynicky et al., 2012, …

Phosphate rock containing rare-earth elements (REEs) is considered one of the most promising potential secondary sources of REEs, as evidenced by large tonnages of phosphate rock mined annually. The bioleaching of REEs from phosphate rock using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was done for the first time in this study, and it …

Phosphorus fertilizers contain varying amounts of heavy metals and other rare earth elements as contaminants from either phosphate rock ores or other ingredients used in the phosphate fertilizer industry. As some heavy metals are potentially harmful to human health, attention is being given to its avenues of entry into the human food chain.

Rare Earth Elements in Phosphate Matrix There are Rare Earth Elements in the phosphate matrix mined by Mosaic. The Rare Earths associated with phosphate matrix are primarily found in: • Clays o Mosaic produces a total of approximately 13.5 million tons of clays per year at the active mines in central Florida which contain approximately 4,813 ...

Phosphate rocks can contain considerable amounts of accompanying uranium and rare earth elements (REEs). Interest to extract these elements during phosphate rock processing to mineral fertilizer is given as both uranium and REEs are valuable and toxic. Recovering these elements is thus advantages from a resource …
