China possesses the largest resource of rare earth elements (REE) in the world and the reserve of REE in China takes up over 40% of the total global reserve. China has dominated the world REE production since 1980s. Bayan Obo REE‐Nb‐Fe deposit situated in Inner Mongolia is the world's largest known REE ore deposit with the reserve of 48 Mt REO and the largest REE …
According to the different physical and chemical properties of rare earth minerals, associated gangue, and other minerals, the beneficiation of rare earth ore usually adopts the following methods. 1. Radiation Beneficiation Method It mainly uses the difference in thorium content between rare earth minerals and gangue minerals in the ore, and uses a γ-ray …
The beneficiation of rare earth element (REE) minerals may include many different beneficiation unit operations, but the final process choice typically depends on the inherent mineral characteristics. The Nechalacho REE deposit contains multiple low specific gravity, diamagnetic silicate gangue minerals (predominantly feldspars and quartz) and ...
