Rare Earth Elements: Their Importance in Understanding

The rare earth elements (REEs) are commonly defined as lanthanum (La) and the 14 elements comprising the Lanthanide series. The REE's typically exhibit trivalent oxidation states; however, Europium may also occur as Eu2+ and Cerium may occur as Ce4+. The REE's ionic radii decrease on progression from La to Lu, which results in a slight but predictable change in

Aside from phosphate nodules, there were also traces of rare earth elements : SUPPLIED A subsidiary company has been set up by aspiring seabed miner Chatham Rock Phosphate, to specifically examine the potential retrieval of rare earth minerals from the Chatham Rise seafloor.

Uranium from Phosphates Phosphorite Uranium

Phosphate rock (phosphorite) is a marine sedimentary rock which contains 18 40% P 2 O 5, as well as some uranium and all its decay products, often 70 to 200 ppmU, and sometimes up to 800 ppm. The main mineral in the phosphate rock is apatite, and most commonly, fluorapatite – Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F or Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (F,OH) 2 .

Examples of Renewable and Non Renewable Resources

The problem is that the deposits of phosphate rock do not get any bigger, while our demand for this non renewable mineral skyrockets every year. According to a belief of a Swedish researcher Dana Cordell, if the demand keeps growing as it does now, it will exceed the global supply as soon as 2024 [21] .

Direct leaching of rare earth elements and uranium from

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.

"In 2024 the prices of rare earth elements spiked in part because of a supply problem from China," Tom Tarka said. He's the technical project lead for rare earth elements at the National Energy and Technology Laboratory, or NETL, in Morgantown.

Monazite: A rare earth phosphate mineral.

Monazite is a rare phosphate mineral mined from placer deposits for its rare earth and thorium content. A Mineral or a Mineral Group? The generic chemical formula for monazite, (Ce,La,Nd,Th)(PO 4,SiO 4), reveals that cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and thorium can substitute for one another in the mineral's structure; and, substitution of silica for phosphate also occurs.

Researchers Find Phosphate Rock as Source of Rare

Rare earth elements generally amount to less than percent in phosphate rock. But worldwide, about 100,000 tons of these elements per year end up in phosphogypsum waste. That's almost as much as the approximately 126,000 tons of rare earth oxides produced worldwide each year.

Uranium, Rare Earth Elements, & Fluoride Products

The supply of rare earth elements (REE) s is considered to be at high risk because global production is concentrated in a few countries some of which have relatively low political stability ratings. Depending on the rock source and processing technique, wet process phosphoric acid contains varying quantities of REE, and other valuable strategic metals, including vanadium and uranium.

The raw phosphate rock physically was treated with flotation to remove the impurities such as quartz and calcite; a refined phosphate with rare earth elements of more than wt%. The refined phosphate rock is then treated with excessive H3PO4 to dissolve the apatite; the residue from the dissolution gives an earth enriched precipitation, which contains up to 2 wt% rare earth elements.
