Scientific novelty

Development of methods for the extraction and separation of rare-earth elements using flotation methods with various types of surfactants.

Advantages

The waste-free technology is aimed at reducing the amount of generated mineral processing waste, primarily through the additional extraction of valuable components from it, which allows for a reduction in the environmental burden and an increase in resource conservation in the mineral resources sector.

Commercial implementation

At mineral and raw materials complex enterprises to obtain rare earth element concentrates, which can be used in the production of magnets, phosphors, capacitors, optical glass, and ceramics. Processing of industrial enrichment waste from mining enterprises.
