Studies on the Enrichment Feasibility of Rare Earth-Bearing Minerals in Mine Tailings

This study aimed to investigate the potential of enrichment of rare-earth-bearing minerals in historic mine tailing using the froth flotation process. Characterization studies indicated that tailings contained 11,000 ppm of rare earth elements (REEs). The major mineral in the tailings was apatite at...
