The world resources of beryllium are estimated at approximately 80,000 tons ( Taylor et al., 2003 ). The extraction of beryllium from beryl involves melting, fritting, and grinding to produce a water-soluble sulfate. From bertrandite, the process involves crushing into a slurry and leaching with sulfuric acid at temperatures near to the boiling ...

most significant factors affecting the overall beryllium recovery in the extraction process. The optimum extraction conditions to maximize beryllium recovery were T 1 =1500C, t 1 =60 min, T 2 =4000C and t 2 =60 min. In the verification extraction experiment, beryllium recovery was 97.7%. It was also found that first stage reaction temperature ...
Today, the extraction of beryllium begins with the mining of raw materials (bertrandite ore and/or beryl ore). Beryl ore is melted in industrial furnaces, solidified and crushed, then treated with sulfuric acid to produce a water-soluble sulfate. Bertrandite ore is crushed, made into slurry and treated with sulfuric acid to form a sulfate.

Application of this technique on concentrated stock beryl solution (15 mg beryllium/L) carried out using 0.2 M CYANEX 921 in kerosene gave similar ...
Beryllium (Be) is a silver-white and very light metal. It has a very high melting point at 2349 °F (1287 °C). It is found in nature primarily as bertrandite, which is mined in Utah, or as beryl. The combination of its light weight and high melting point makes it valuable for making metal alloys which are used in electronic and electrical ...
Beryllium is a very important strategic metal and has been applied in high-tech industries. Since the low beryllium content in minerals, the enrichment technique is a vital aspect of beryllium smelting. In this study, we present a novel protic ionic liquid, 4-Hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazolium p-Chlorobenzoate ([Hymim][pCb]), as an efficient and environmentally …

the recovery of beryllium from its ores and other beryl lium-bearing materials. Of these, the liquid-ion exchange process for the extraction and purification of beryllium has recently received a great deal of attention. Basically, the liquid-ion exchange process can be best described as one which is performed in two parts, i.e., an

The extraction process uses leaching of the ore in sulfuric acid to produce a sulfate, which undergoes solvent extraction to remove impurity elements. The beryllium-rich fraction from solvent extraction is treated with ammonium carbonate to produce a complex carbonate that can be thermally separated into a pure form of beryllium hydroxide, the ...
