modern industries and technological developments in their usage and residual …

Generally, phosphate rock contains about 0.05 wt% rare earth elements (REEs) on average.
And the world commercial phosphate rock production is estimated to be 250 million tons per …

Water is needed at mine sites for dust suppression, mineral processing, coal washing, and
hydrometallurgical extraction. For these applications, water is mined from surface water …

Beta-hemihydrate phosphogypsum (β-HPG) as a cementitious material obtained from the
dehydration of phosphogypsum (PG) can be widely used for the preparation of building …

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry that is produced
during the phosphoric acid production process. Annual global PG production ranges …

The increasing demand for rare earth elements (REEs), especially from new and innovative
