In addition, we must not forget that the phosphogypsum stack is located on state land, which is leased for a certain amount of payment and for a certain period. At the same time, the phosphogypsum itself is "movable property".

And this may happen after the phosphogypsum processing plant is built.

What then?

Have you ever thought that a funny situation could happen with phosphogypsum, when the government could allow a phosphogypsum dump to be called a "technogenic rare earth element deposit" and require paying a tax on the extraction?

"This why RBW are refining to 99.5% NdPr."

How much is NdPr 99.5% recycled?)

Don't pass off wishful thinking as reality!!!

Chromatography is used to extract uranium and separate rare earth elements (REE) using different principles. This is due to the properties of the elements: uranium is amphoteric and easily converted into anionic form, while REE are usually present in smaller quantities, and their separation requires special methods.

Chromatography is used to selectively separate uranium from solutions containing associated elements (iron, manganese, nickel, copper, etc.).

Chromatography is used to separate REE, but the affinity of REE ions to the resin is close, which does not provide sufficiently effective separation.

Ion chromatography (ion exchange chromatography) differs in the extraction of uranium and the separation of rare earth elements (REE). This is due to the specifics of the tasks: uranium is more easily converted into anionic form, and REE are found in solutions mainly in the form of triply charged cations.

Extraction of uranium.

Principle: uranium is adsorbed on strongly basic anion exchange resins in the form of anionic sulfuric acid complexes. After saturation of the resin with uranium, desorption is performed - washing out (eluting) of uranium ions with acidified salt solutions.

Separation of REE.

Principle: REE mixtures are divided into separate zones moving along the column at a certain speed, due to the different affinity of ions for the ion exchanger. This is due to the different stability of REE complex compounds. Important:

The ion exchange method is not used to separate the entire amount of REE into individual elements - it is more expedient to combine chemical separation methods with preliminary chromatographic separation into narrow groups, followed by additional purification of individual elements to a high degree of purity.

In an increasingly noisy space, REEx’s processor rankings bring clarity. “The magnet market doesn’t want carbonates—it needs oxides,” said John Parkinson, Chief Business Officer of REEx. “Until a rare earth company can make that leap—and prove they can do it at scale—they’re not yet part of the solution.”

Thanks for the info. Which uranium project exactly was RBW involved in?

This is the first time I've heard of RBW ever using Cix/cic in a uranium project in Africa.

In which uranium project? tell us the name of the project)

"-to incentivize U.S. mining, processing, and magnet manufacturing and reduce reliance on China. "

I'm surprised that you only paid attention to this.

SmartPunter,

In Https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/RBW/interim-study-confirms-phalaborwa-viability-jd5mljc6tjjxo99.html it is stated that "This equates to an operating cost of US$12.91/kg total separated REO ("TREO") including non-magnet REE for which revenue is currently excluded from the economic assessment."

I have repeatedly asked the question - "The chemical composition of the resulting product - a mixture of sulfates and carbonates of rare earth metals?", since the cost of a mixture of REE carbonates with a TREO content of 42-45% is currently US$5.5-6.0/kg.

More than three years of laboratory work. Waiting for separated oxides, in particular neodymium and praseodymium. And what is the result?
