Experiments on Rare-Earth Element Extractions from Umber Ores for Optimizing the Grinding Process

Ancient hydrothermal metalliferous sediments (umber) have recently attracted attention as a new rare-earth element resource. We conducted chemical leaching experiments on three different umber ores to optimize the hydrometallurgical extraction process, especially regarding the grinding process. The...
