A critical review of the points of zero charge (PZC) obtained by potentiometric titration and of
isoelectric points (IEP) obtained by electrokinetic measurements. The results from the recent …

The rare-earth elements (REE), which encompass the fifteen metallic elements of the
lanthanoid series of the periodic table, yttrium and occasionally scandium, have gained …

The flotation of rare earth minerals, which is of current interest in the mineral processing
field, is challenging owing to the dissolution of gangue minerals. In this study, dissolved …

Octanohydroxamic acid (OHA) and sodium oleate (NaOL) were employed as mixed
collectors to reduce the cost, increase the recovery, and retain the selectivity for the flotation …

Among ionic liquids, phosphonium-based ionic liquids (PILs) are quite elegant. These
categories of ionic liquids represent some merits over other types of ionic liquids such as …

The inability of rare earth and gangue minerals to be efficiently separated by flotation due to
their similar physicochemical properties is a major challenge of the rare earth industry …

Bastnaesite is a chief natural source of light rare earth elements (LREEs). The effective
depression of Ca-containing minerals such as fluorite and calcite in bastnaesite flotation …

Mineral processing is one of the important methods of resource utilization, and flotation and
leaching are the main methods of mineral processing. The conventional reagents used in …

Abstract Three bifunctional [DODMA]+[DGA]-ionic liquids were synthesized starting from
[DODMA]+[Cl]-surfactant and N, N-dialkyl-diglycolamide acid (DGA), which were employed …

Abstract The recycling of Bayan Obo rare earth has attracted widespread attention due to its
potential environmental risks and the importance of key metal supplies. As a traditional …
