How will this impact in the future?

In addition, the production of phosphogypsum in Europe is estimated at 21 million tons per year in 30 different locations. Considering a typical REE content of 0.4%, the amount of REE ending up in waste dumps annually in Europe is 84,000 tonnes.

REE content in phosphogypsum from the Yara Siilinjärvi plant in Finland, mg/kg: Y-31,8; Pr-102,2; Nd-422,6; Sm-64,0; Eu-15,8; Gd-37,0; Tb-3,4; Dy-13,4

"I love a little magic."

Me too) - "Swedish state-owned mining company LKAB announced that it can meet around 18% of Europe’s rare earth metal demand in the long term if its Per Geijer mine in the Arctic begins production."

"The Lulea facility will process mining waste to produce rare earth concentrate, phosphoric acid and gypsum"

By introducing this technology, the problem of accumulation of phosphogypsum stacks, which arise as a by-product of the production of phosphoric acid, will forever be solved.

JoeCole,

Check - "Cut and paste" in chatgpt)))

To solve this, you need to have knowledge and experience, which RBW apparently does not have.

SmartPunter,

"Umbarata site will process up to 5m tpa direct from output not from stacks."

This once again shows that RBW have failed to understand the issues of REE presence in phosphogypsum, namely:

1. REEs mineral inclusions,

2. REEs isomorphous substitution of Ca2+ in gypsum lattice,

3. dispersed soluble REEs salts.

This shows a lack of knowledge in Crystal Chemistry. And not only in it)

Fulmar29, you've surpassed yourself in your cretinism.

Trump Departs Paris Accord, Bans New Wind Permits in Day 1 Executive Orders

https://www.theenergymix.com/breaking-trump-departs-paris-accord-bans-new-wind-permits-in-day-1-executive-orders/

Trump ordered that the U.S. government “shall not issue new or renewed approvals, rights of way, permits, leases, or loans for onshore or offshore wind projects” pending what the order describes as a “comprehensive assessment” of the industry’s economic and environmental impacts, among other factors.

Production now 2027. It was 2026.

SmartPunter,

These are just words, without any perspective.

Total REE in Phosphogypsum:

- Canada (from Agrium Inc. Redwater Fertilizer plant in Alberta) - 0,0202%

- Saudi Arabia and India - 0.01-0.02%

In addition, The Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden), the largest multi-commodity firm in the Middle East, has signed a frame agreement with Metso and thyssenkrupp Uhde for the development and licensing of a phosphogypsum processing solution for the calcination plant at Ras Al Khair in Saudi Arabia.

"Until we see material economic recovery in China, less-global reliance on China’s rare earths producers, and stabilised growth in demand for EVs around the world ... rare earth prices are expected to remain subdued," said Grady Wulff, market analyst at online trading platform Bell Direct.

Your logic is amazing)

Anyone who has an objective opinion different from yours is a bot, a chinese. Now russian. Tomorrow Iranian.The day after tomorrow alien))))

No. Europe

Why this question if you defined me as a "bot")))
