Towards zero-waste valorisation of rare-earth-containing ...
Chloride salts of the rare earths and thorium are left behind in the solid residue, and can be subsequently recovered. Another approach to solubilise the rare earths and niobium from the Bayan Obo tailings is by sulphating roasting at 250 °C, followed by leaching with water at 60 °C (Zhang et al., 2014). Not only during the beneficiation ...
