Leaching Efficacy of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) to Extract Rare-Earth Elements from Monazite Concentrate

Alkaline EDTA solution has been previously identified as an effective leaching agent for solubilising rare-earth oxalates. These oxalates are the product of an oxalic acid conversion leach dissolving monazite and redepositing the salt. Pervious work suggested a significant increase in recovery was o...
