Several decades ago, only about 3% of copper and gold supplies were produced through heap leaching. Today, the volume is surpassing 30% annually. Valuable chalcopyrite copper, previously not considered economical in heap leach development, is now heap leached, as is nickel laterite, uranium, and even rare earths. The growth of heap leaching is heavily tied to the massive scale on which mines ...

Hydrometallurgy: Leaching in Heap, Vat, CIL, CIP, Merrill–Crowe, ... Rare earths are extremely complicated to recovery from solution. They all disolve relatively easily in acid solutions but are so close together in their properties that recovering them is a life long pursuit. Molycorp had a major plant with 3 or 4 different solvent extractions systems and several others have used ion ...

Leaching plays an important role in the recovery of rare earth elements. A study on optimizing the relevant parameters such agitation, leaching time and temperature in the dissolution of these elements in HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3 acids were carried out. The recovery of the rare earths is much depended upon the type of acid used in the leaching system.

The invention relates to a method for leaching for the extraction of rare earths from phosphate-containing rare earth minerals. The rare earth minerals containing phosphate are heaped up and an extracting agent flows through them, for example an aqueous strong acid such as aqueous sulfuric acid. The extracting agent enriched with rare earths is then processed.
