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 conserving and environmental
November 26 2015 The critical role of rare earth elements (REEs) particularly heavy REEs (HREEs) in hightech industries has created a surge in demand that is quickly outstripping known global supply and has triggered a worldwide scramble to discover new sources.
May 25 2022The result showed that the total leaching rate of REEs in phosphate rock was 28·46 under the condition of 1 pulp concentration and pH = 2 and the leaching rates of four key rare earths Y La Ce and Nd were 35·7 37·03 27·92 and 32·53 respectively. The bioleaching process was found to be accomplished by bacterial contact and Fe 2 oxidation.
The history of REEs recovery from phosphate rock dates back to the 1930s USSR firstly began the investigation of recovery of REEs byproduct from wet process phosphoric acid .And since then researchers from Tananaev Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Rare Elements and Mineral Raw Materials Russian Academy of Sciences has devoted to the studies of REEs recovery from phosphate rock

Monazite is a rare earth phosphate mineral RE(PO4) containing mostly light REE and some heavy REE (more than bastnaesite1). Monazite can contain up to 70 REE primarily Ce and La as well as significant amounts of Nd 2015/10/02· rare earth elements from phosphate rock phosphoric acid and three phosphate fertilizer waste byproducts
FUN FACTS. Phosphate rock is used to make phosphate compounds that are used in applications such as food additives detergents and herbicides. Phosphoric acid is used in cola beverages. Phosphorus was first discovered in 1669 by Hennig Brand in Germany when he recovered it from urine. Visit /minerals.
In 2020 phosphate rock ore was mined by five firms at 10 mines in four States and processed into an estimated 24 million tons of marketable product valued at billion free on board () mine. Florida and North Carolina accounted for more than 75 of total domestic output the remainder was produced in
"Rare earth elements generally amount to less than in phosphate rock however around 100 000t of these elements can be found in phosphogypsum waste." Based on the results it was found that the bioacid did a better job extracting rare earth elements compared to pure gluconic acid at the same pH () or degree of acidity.
Worldwide mine production was 210 000 t rare earth oxide (REO) equivalent in 2019 (USGS 2021). Phosphate rock (PR) is among the 5th most mined materials on earth (approx. 250 million t per year) and often shows elevated concentrations of REE (Emsbo et al. 2015 USGS 2021).

The phosphogypsum waste heap in Wiślinka (northern Poland) is located between the Martwa Wisła River and farm fields close to the Gdańsk agglomeration. It contains about 16 million tonnes of phosphogypsum stored on 40 ha of land.
In this study the extraction and recovery of rare earth elements and phosphorus from phosphate rock and three phosphate fertilizer waste byproducts phosphogypsum amine tailings and waste clay
Phosphorite or phosphate rock is the raw material of phosphoric acid production. It has also been regarded as the most important secondary rare earth element (REE) resource due to low contents of rare earth elements contained in the ore. In Florida there is about 19 Mt of phosphate rock mined annually. After beneficiation the phosphate rock concentrate is utilized to produce phosphoric
The resulting phosphate concentrate showed relatively high concentrations in metal oxides Ʃ MgO Fe 2 O 3 Al 2 O 3 = wt and silica ( wt ) so that it did not meet the merchant grade specifications of a minimum P 2 O 5 content of 30 wt yet. Removal of these elements could be achieved using additional appropriate separation techniques.
It is found that the total content of rare earth elements in the phosphate rock is about wt amongst which Y La Ce Pr Nd and Sm are the main rareearth components and cosit the lattice of the apatite. The phosphate content in the ascollected rock is more than 20 wt and impurities such as quartz calcite and clay are also present.
Joshua Tree National Park Phosphate minerals such as monazite and xenotime are the primary major source of rare earth elements (REE) on Earth. As the global demand for REE continues to increase understanding the mechanisms by which these phases form and are concentrated into economically significant deposits is of vital national importance.

The phosphate rock production in the world was 255 Mt in 2016 and 263 Mt in 2017 according to the USGS report (2018). Most (over 80 ) of apatite ores are Rare earth occurrences and distributions in phosphate rock processing Fundded by Academy of Finland 6 Material apatite ore flotation concentrate and PG
Abstract Three fungal strains were found to be capable of bioleaching rare earth elements from monazite a rare earth phosphate mineral utilizing the monazite as a phosphate source and releasing rare earth cations into solution.
The reserve of sedimentary phosphate deposits in Guizhou province in western China is huge but has been no development because of its difficulties of comprehensive utilization. Using mineral processing techniques Rare earth containing phosphate rock flotation and flotation concentrate leaching test study were done. Rare earth enrichment in those processes was studied too.
two phosphate minerals xenotime and monazite are also principal rare earth element mineral ores phosphate rock has the potential become an important supplemental source of rare earth elements. It is estimated that in Florida alone approximately 30 000 tons of rare earth elements are discarded with various phosphate mining waste byproducts
Phosphorite or phosphate rock is the most significant secondary rareearth resource. It contains high amounts of phosphatebearing minerals along with low contents of rare earth elements (REEs). In Florida about 19 Mt of phosphate rock are mined annually and most are used to manufacture fertilizers using a wet process in which sulfuric acid reacts with phosphates to produce phosphoric acid
The critical role of rare earth elements (REEs) particularly heavy REEs (HREEs) in hightech industries has created a surge in demand that is quickly outstripping known global supply and has triggered a worldwide scramble to discover new sources.
