A System, Apparatus, And Process For Leaching Metal And Storing Thermal Energy During Metal Extraction
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a new single vessel or “one pot” copper electrorefinery process that utilizes a molten chloride salt (NaCl – KCl – ZnCl2) as both the extracting fluid and electrolyte.
Background:
Several European and South American cities have regulated or banned traditional precious...

Optimized Ore Processing using Molten Salts for Leaching and Thermal Energy Storage
University of Arizona researchers have developed and optimized an electrochemical metal extraction process utilizing molten chloride salt. The salt serves as a heat transfer fluid, which can power the process itself or provide power to outside processing units or communities. The material, or slag, leftover from the process is non-toxic and may easily...

A Novel Chemicals' Scheme for the Flotation of Bastnaesite Ore
This invention is a flotation method for removing heavy earth metals from Bastnaesite ore. It works by reducing the flotation temperature to a cost-efficient level and simplifying the flow sheet. Results show that 80-90% REE recovery and <20% gangue recovery are achieved at 40°C-60°C, which yield a rougher concentrate of 30%~40% REO. The...

Producing Environmentally Benign Materials from Mine Tailings using Hydrocarbon Polymerization
This invention is a way of making mine tailings more environmentally-friendly and efficient. The method stabilizes the mine tailings by creating a solid product of easily removable heavy metals that, in the event of failure, can devastate the surrounding environment if still present. This technology can be used in the nano-composite fabrication of hydrophobic,...
