Five Basic Rare Earth Ore Beneficiation Methods
1, radiation processing method
The main advantage of the thorium content of the different rare earth minerals and gangue minerals in the ore, the use of the gamma-ray concentrator to separate rare earth minerals and gangue mineral. The radiation processing method used for the preselection of the rare earth ore. At present, this method is not widely applied in industry.
2, the gravity separation method
The use of different rare earth minerals and gangue mineral density separation. The re-election equipment cone concentrator, spiral concentrator, shaking (shaking table). The re-election so that the separation of rare earth minerals with low density of quartz, calcite and other gangue minerals in order to achieve the preselected enrichment of rare earth concentrates. Re-election of the GF for the seaside sands production; in the rare-earth veins in the ore beneficiation is sometimes used as a pre-enrichment means.
3, the magnetic separation method
Some rare earth minerals with weak magnetic. You can use them and the associated gangue and other minerals different than the magnetic coefficient, using different magnetic field intensity magnetic separator (magnetic the separator) to the rare earth minerals and other mineral separation. Beneficiation of beach sands, often using low intensity magnetic separation of ilmenite and monazite; can also be used to high intensity magnetic separation of monazite and zircon, quartz lamp mineral separation. In order to simplify the flotation process and save the flotation agent in ore beneficiation of rare-earth veins, sometimes using strong magnetic pre-enrichment of rare earth minerals.With the magnetic technology continues to evolve, the high intensity magnetic separation will become more and more widely used in the rare earth ore beneficiation process.
4, the flotation method
Use of rare earth minerals and associated mineral surface physical and chemical properties of the difference, using the flotation method with the

    There are two main methods used to extract copper from its ores. Generally, copper is extracted using the Pyrometallurgical method (also known as smelting), which allows us to separate copper from its sulfide and oxide ores; the other method, called the Hydrometallurgical method (also known as solvent extraction or electrowinning - SX/EW), allows us to also separate copper from its oxide ores. Although this method is more cost effective, it only accounts for a very limited amount of the world’s copper production as its environmental impact is much stronger than that of pyrometallurgy - the by-products of hydrometallurgy contain much higher concentrations of sulfur and metal particulates.…

    The material on the right, the gneiss – looks quite different to the peridotite. That would suggest that we may have different minerals – and different minerals mean different environment and or/different processes. The gneiss is a metamorphosed rock – so a rock that has been transformed from its original form due to heat and or pressure. Gneiss makes up most of earths lower crust – the pressure and heat transforms sedimentary and igneous rocks.…

    In gamma radiation, beams of radiation are used to penetrate engines, welded joints, and metal casing to show flaws in the metal. Photographic plates are used to show up where the flaws are. Radioactive material such as cobalt-60 is placed in a sealed titanium capsule, which still allows gamma radiation to penetrate. The ease of transportation and since no power is needed means it is useful in remote places to check on natural gas or oil pipelines.…
