Abstract The leaching of rare earth elements (REEs) from Egyptian Abu Tartur phosphate rock using phosphoric acid has been examined and was subsequently optimized to better understand if such an approach could be industrially feasible. Preliminary experiments were performed properly define the design experiments. Afterward, 2 4 full factorial implemented optimize process. Optimum REEs efficienc...

Acid mine drainage is a legacy environmental issue and one of the largest pollutants in many mining districts throughout world. In prior work, authors have developed process for recovery critical materials, including rare earth elements, from acid using preconcentration step followed by solvent extraction as concentration purification technology. As part downstream technology development effort...

In this work, hydrometallurgical recycling of metals from high-cobalt-content spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) laptops was studied using precipitation and solvent extraction as alternative purification processes. Large amounts cobalt (58% by weight), along with nickel (6.2%), manganese (3.06%) lithium (6.09%) are present in LiCoO2 Li2CoMn3O8 prominent Co-rich phases the electrode material. Th...

the mass transfer performance of a pulsed disc and doughnut column for extraction of samarium and gadolinium from aqueous nitrate solution with d2ehpa was investigated. the effects of operating parameters such as pulsation intensity, continuous and dispersed phase velocities on column performance were investigated. the axial dispersion model was used to obtain the overall mass transfer coeffici...
