A novel method of high-efficiency extraction of aluminum (Al) and lithium (Li) from coal fly
ash (CFA) is proposed. The mixture of CFA and sodium pyrosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 7) was …

The possibility of extraction of metals from ores of different genesis, containing low-
dimensional structures of rare and noble metals, increases their commodity value and, in a …

The Bayer process is the main method of alumina production worldwide. The use of low-
quality bauxites for alumina production results in the formation of a significant amount of …

Efficient utilization of high-silica bauxite and minimization of bauxite residue are of great
significance for the sustainable development of the alumina industry. In this paper, a novel …

Coal fly ash (CFA) obtained from pulverized coal furnaces is a highly refractory waste that
can be used for alumina and rare-earth elements (REEs) extraction. The REEs in this type of …

A substantial amount of bauxite tailings (BTs) at abandoned mine sites have been stored in
waste reservoirs for long periods, leading to significant land occupation and environmental …

Coal fly ash (CFA) is an increasingly prevalent byproduct that necessitates more resourceful
and eco-friendly processing methods. Extracting aluminum from CFA is a crucial aspect of …

Alkali leaching is an effective desilication method for improving the alumina-silica mass ratio
(A/S) of bauxite. The paper aims to study the kinetics of kaolinite dissolution and …

Global challenges, including increased consumption of mineral raw materials, climatic
changes, and the exhaustibility of reserves, increase the relevance of mineral mining …

Rare earth elements, such as yttrium, scandium, neodymium, and praseodymium, have
been reported to be associated with minerals in bauxite and transferred to the refining …
