Rare Metal Technology 2017 [Paperback]

This collection presents papers from a symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production. Topics include the extraction and processing of elements like antimony, arsenic, gold, indium, palladium, platinum, rare earth metals including yttrium and neodymium, titanium, tungsten, and vanadium. Rare processing techniques are covered, including direct extraction processes for rare-earth recovery, biosorption of precious metals, fluorination behavior of uranium and zirconium mixture of fuel debris treatment, and recovery of valuable components of commodity metals such as zinc, nickel, and metals from slag.Part 1: Rare Earth Elements I.- The Economics of the Search Minerals Direct Extraction Process for Rare Earth Recovery.- Recovery of Critical Rare Earth Elements for Green Energy Technologies.- Selective Reduction and Separation of Europium from Mixed Rare-Earth Oxides from Waste Fluorescent Lamp Phosphors.- Application of Rare Earths for Higher Efficiencies in Energy Conversion.- Microwave Treatment for Extraction of Rare Earth Elements from Phosphogypsum.- Selective Separation of Rare Earth Elements Utilizing Vapor Phase Extraction.- Observation of Oxidation of Nd-Magnet In High Temperature Recycling/Recovery Process.- Part 2: Rare Earth Elements II and Platinum Group Metals.- Electrochemical Behavior of Neodymium in Molten Chloride Salts.- Novel Reactive Anode for Electrochemical Extraction of Rare Earth Metals from Rare Earth Oxides.- Electrochemical Formation of Nd Alloys Using Liquid Metal Electrodes in Molten LiCl-KCl Systems.- Challenges in the Electrolytic Refining of Silver  Influencing the Co-Deposition through Parameter Control.- Vapor Treatment for Alloying and Magnetizing Platinum Group Metals.- Biotechnological Recovery of Platinum Group Metals from Leachates of Spent Automotive Catalysts.- Recovering Palladium from Chloridizing Leaching Solution of Spent Pd/Al2O3Catalyst by Sulfide Precipitatil#�
