Phosphate ore is an important raw material for manufacturing fertilizers and phosphorous chemical products. While most of the phosphate resources cannot be directly treated as feed stock due to the low grade of P2O5 and high content of impurities. In order to obtain a qualified phosphate concentrate, the beneficiation of the low-grade …
A dry high-intensity rare earth roll separator (RE6D06W-1, Eriez Magnetics Co. Ltd., Chiba, Japan), consisting of a rare earth roll (75.4 mm diameter × 150 mm width) and an idler roll enveloped with a 0.25 mm thickness Kevlar belt, was used (Figure 2a). The sample was fed to the separator through the vibratory feeder, and magnetic separation ...
The results of this work showed that when the feed (with a Sc grade of 48.9 g/t) had a particle size of 80% −74 μm the recovery and grade of the scandium and rare earth concentrate were optimized, yielding a Sc grade of 314.89 g/t with a recovery of 77.53% (Gao and Chen, 2010). 3.4.

Recently, the rare earth concentrate (containing 50% REOs, 29.44% PO 4 3− and around 20% trace rare earth oxides (TREOs)) obtained from the Korea was first …
The nature of the occurrence and distribution of the rare earth minerals has generally ensured that they could be recovered only as by-products or co-products. Therefore, except in one important case, Mountain Pass bastnasite, the physical beneficiation of the rare earth mineral is the same as that used for the main product of the resource.
About Rutile Ore. Rutile is one of the main minerals containing titanium. It is brittle, with a hardness of 6-6.5 and a density of 4.2-4.3g/cm3. Those rich in iron, niobium, and tantalum will increase in density, and the higher ones can reach more than 5.5g/cm3. It can be dissolved in hot phosphoric acid.
Scandium is one of the rare earth metals with high value and special features, which usually exists in minerals such as titanio-magnetite, bauxite and apatite.1,2,3 Due to the highly dispersed distribution and scarcity of independent minerals, the major extraction sources are secondary products.4 Some secondary sources that …
