Development of Rare Earth Elements Separation Processes from Coal Fly Ash
Rare Earth Elements and Yttrium (REY) constitute an important family of metals, with a wide range of applications and a massive impact on global industry. Studies have verified that the REY exist at significant concentrations in coal fly (CFA) and bottom ash (CBA). In the present contribution, the f...

| description | Rare Earth Elements and Yttrium (REY) constitute an important family of metals, with a wide range of applications and a massive impact on global industry. Studies have verified that the REY exist at significant concentrations in coal fly (CFA) and bottom ash (CBA). In the present contribution, the feasibility of CFA and CBA from the thermal power plant of PPC Meliti, Florina as a possible REY source is examined. Results are presented on the chemical and mineralogical analysis of the samples along with characterization of the initial material. Size separation results are also presented, as the first step in a subsequent beneficiation process for potential REY recovery. |
