A Molecular-Scale Approach to Rare-Earth Beneficiation: Thinking Small to Avoid Large Losses

Summary: Separating rare-earth-element-rich minerals from unwanted gangue in mined ores relies on selective binding of collector molecules at the interface to facilitate froth flotation. Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA) exhibits enhanced selectivity for bastnäsite over calcite in microflotation experime...
