Unique magnetic and electrochemical properties of the elements enable technologies to perform with greater efficiency, performance, and durability—often by reducing weight, emissions, or energy consumption. Rare earth-enabled technologies power global economic growth, enable life-saving products, and help shrink our carbon footprint. 1.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 15 chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the lanthanides. Two other elements, scandium and yttrium, have a similar physiochemistry to the lanthanides, are commonly found in the same mineral assemblages, and are often referred to as REEs.
Table 1 results show that if the flotation plant is fed DC material at an average grade of 3.3% Total Rare Earth Oxide ("TREO") and is operated to produce a flotation concentrate containing 45% TREO, an average 81% recovery will be observed. If 50% TREO were targeted, recovery would be expected to be 77%.
The feed to a copper flotation plant is 150t/h, with a feed grade of 2.5%. The filtered concentrate after 24hrs is 255 dry tonnes. Given that the grade of the material lost as tailings is 0.12% and the metal recovery was 88%. Determine how much material in tonnes is lost as tailings. Calculate the concentrate grade. Calculate the % metal loss.
Rare earth minerals (REM) may be beneficiated using a variety of separation techniques with froth flotation being the most commonly applied in operating REM separation plants.

A solids content of 36 pct was best (fig. 10). Lower or higher solids content resulted in appreciable decreases in rare-earth recovery and concentrate grade. Decreasing the impeller speed from 1,400 to 1,000 rpm resulted in a lower rare-earth recovery, but the concentrate grade increased markedly (fig. 11).
