It's too bad if things go like this - "Another development to expect in three or five years is that rare earths are going to get markedly cheaper as the new – cheaper to mine, more abundant – supply comes online. Plus these new finds are high in just the type of rare earths we want for the fancier end of the magnet market. "

Rare Earths MMI: Notable Price Moves
Praseodymium neodymium oxide dropped significantly by 16.07%, bringing prices to $62,830.40 per metric ton.
Chinese neodymium oxide suffered a harsh drop of 18.3%, which brought prices to $66,427.91 per metric ton.
Cerium oxide dropped sharply by 15.45% month-over-month. Prices currently sit at $799.57 per metric ton.
Finally, dysprosium oxide dropped by 8.88%, bringing prices to $274.43 per kilogram.

>>In comparison ionic earth extraction from 0.1% RE content can be 50%. Hard rock is 60-70%.
Nobody is extracting 90%.<<

However, to date it can be reported that the extraction of Pr and Nd from the acid bake calcine was in excess of 90%, the impurity removal circuits were very efficient, and reagent regeneration and water recirculation were effective. Minor changes will be made to the circuit ahead of Phase II and an alternative product precipitant will be used.

If a person is more comfortable thinking that a red brick is a yellow ball, he will believe that the brick is a ball. Any talk is useless. This is to the question of the "objective picture of the world" and that a person orb of this world knows. He only knows what he wants to know. And there is no way to bring simple, obvious facts to his mind.

And the facts are:
- 0.44% TREO content, "The rare earth minerals contained in the gypsum stacks have been chemically cracked by the historic phosphoric acid production process."
- "overall recovery of between 65% to 70% of the contained rare earths".

Accordingly, 3.08 kg of separated magnet rare earth oxides are extracted from one tonne of phosphogypsum at an average cost of US$33.86/kg in the amount of $104.3. While the cost of a ton of really pure gypsum is $100-150.

In addition, 1320 ppm REE remains in "pure" gypsum. This is commensurate with the REE content in many deposits. If the gypsum has been chemically cracked, at least 90% of the REE must be recovered.

Rainbow is much more difficult, since it has to work with waste from the production of phosphoric acid, and not with minerals. New solutions are needed, time.

When are we going to hear good news?

Agree.
How long will the pilot tests take?
It could be a month, six months, a year.

Defense Metals’ consulting metallurgist John Goode said the importance of such pilot plants “cannot be over-emphasized.”

“It provides the opportunity to see if processes are stable and can be effectively controlled, (determines) the effects of in-plant recirculation of solutions and solids, (measures) recoveries and reagent demands, and generates significant quantities of material that can be used for engineering design and environment-related tests,” Goode said. “The data from the pilot plant will be used in the pre-feasibility study (PFS).”

The Chinese government will, if necessary, provide subsidies to its state-owned companies in order to reduce the price of REE and compete in the market.

China continues to build the world's largest processing center for rare earth magnets.
This can lead to the fact that rare earth elements will become noticeably cheaper.

For almost a year now, there has been no information on projects in Morocco and "the possibility of extracting rare earth elements from the nitrophosphate process stream at a phosphoric acid plant near Johannesburg in South Africa"

How much more to wait for the news?

The main problem is the slightly elevated radioactivity of phosphogypsum, which is due to the high activity concentration of 226Ra, while the remaining impurities can be extracted relatively easily, for example by using phase transformations between different kinds of calcium sulfate hydrate and filtering the obtained solution. Traditional technologies of purification of phosphogypsum from radium are not effective, because of the similarity of chemical properties of radium sulfate and calcium sulfate salts, when the radioactive salt is isomorphously included in the gypsum crystal lattice (Kovler, 2004).
