Eudialytes are a nonconventional source for rare earth elements (REE). As the total REE content of eudialytes is relatively low, high-grade mineral concentrates have to be produced. The applicability of magnetic separation and direct selective flotation for the processing of eudialyte ore from Norra Kärr (Sweden) was tested. The eudialyte in the …Web

The flotation process is considered one of the most important techniques to separate rare earth minerals from associate minerals and is commonly applied to the beneficiation of rare earth ores. It is worth mentioning that this separation method is used to separate minerals by exploiting the differences in their surface wettability [ 12, 24 ].Web
