Recovery of Rare Earths, Niobium, and Thorium from the Tailings of Giant Bayan Obo Ore in China

The recovery of rare earths, niobium, and thorium from Bayan Obo??s tailings has been investigated because the Bayan Obo ore is rich in rare earths and rich in niobium and thorium, but it is mined mainly as an iron ore and will be used up soon. By carbochlorination between 823?K (550?°C) and 873?K (600?°C) for 2?hours, 76 to 93?pct of rare earths were recovered from the tailings, which were much higher than those from Bayan Obo??s rare earth concentrate, together with 65 to 78?pct of niobium, 72 to 92?pct of thorium, 84 to 91?pct of iron, and 81 to 94?pct of fluorine. This suggests a cooperative reaction mechanism that carbochlorination of iron minerals (and carbonates) in the tailings enhances that of rare earth minerals, which is supported by a thermodynamic analysis. Subsequently, niobium separation from the low-volatile, ultrahigh iron chloride mixture was achieved efficiently by selective oxidation with Fe₂O₃. This process, combined with the best available technologies for separation of rare earths and thorium from the involatile chloride mixture and for comprehensively using other valuable elements, allows the ore to minimize radioactive waste and to use rare metal resources sustainably in the future.

Recovery of Ultra-Fine Iron Ore from Iron Ore Tailings

Many attempts has been taken for further utilisation of the tailings and slimes through different routes i.e. beneficiation, agglomeration etc. Though the slimes and tailings contain huge ultra fines, conventional beneficiation methods many not be much effective for handling because of particle size limitations. Physicochemical method i.e. selective flocculation is a process for handling the ultrafine particles present in the tailings. Review shows that selective flocculation technique have very limited commercial application. Here the study focuses on the application of selective flocculation process for beneficiation of synthetic mixtures of iron ore and kaolinite as well as iron ore tailings. Results show that it is possible to achieve 65.78(%) of Fe, with 2.65% Al₂O₃, 3.66 SiO₂ (%) in the concentrate using synthetic mixture feed and more than 60% of Fe is obtained from natural iron ore tailings.     

Rare Earths, Niobium and Tantalum Minerals in Bayan Obo Ore Deposit and Discussion on Their Genesis

Bayan Obo ore deposit is endowed with and lie hidden in the Proterozoic strata. The localities and occurfences of the minerals in the ore deposit were described. It is obviously that some minerals are strata minerals and some are post-strata minerals. The rare earths, niobium and tantalum minerals are exactly the post-strata minerals. In these minerals the hydrothermal metasomatic phenomena distinctly reveal their metallogenic characteristics. According to tectonic movement, magma activity, mineral paragenesis, hydrothermal metasomatism, geological age and lasting time-scale of metallogenesis, and some other factors, it is supposed that genesis of rare-earths, niobium and tantalum minerals in Bayan Obo ore deposit are closely related with hydrothermal metallogenic solution which is differentiated from silica acid and carbonic acid magma and derived from deep seated source, and then intruded into Proterozoic strata and metasomatized. It is recognized that the metallogenesis of Bayan Obo ore deposit is undergoing a long geological period and many episodes.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Formation of Fluoride from Gangue in Bayan Obo Iron Concentrate Containing Fluorite

In order to fill up the deficiency of the theoretical basis about fluoride formation during Bayan Obo iron concentrate roasting process,the thermodynamic conditions of the interactivity between the components of the gangue and calcium fluorite were studied by means of thermodynamic calculation,DTA-TG thermal analysis and XRD characterization.The results revealed that KF,NaF and SiF4(gaseous)could be formed during the roasting process,and the tendency of the generation of KF is greater than that of NaF or SiF4 in standard state.Besides,the results of roasting experiments showed that the products of KCaCO3 F and KCaF3 formed in the temperature range of 800-1 250℃and KF appears when the roasting temperature was higher than 1 250 ℃in K2O-CaF2 system.For the Na2O-CaF2 system,the product of NaF appears at temperature higher than 1 050 ℃.The formation reaction of gaseous SiF4 with solid phase CaO·SiO2in SiO2-CaF2 system took place only at temperature higher than 1 150℃.In the natural potash feldspar-CaF2-CaO system,the fluorination reaction products involved KF at temperature higher than 1 270℃,while in the natural aegirine-CaF2-CaO system,NaF formed at temperature higher than 980℃ during roasting process.
