Chelation-Assisted Ion-Exchange Leaching of Rare Earths from Clay Minerals

The effect of biodegradable chelating agents on the recovery of rare earth elements (REE) from clay minerals via ion-exchange leaching was investigated, with the aim of proposing a cost-effective, enhanced procedure that is environmentally benign and allows high REE recovery while reducing/eliminati...
