This study presented the first in a series of investigations currently underway to develop efficacious, cost-effective, and benign processing opportunities to produce rare earth elements (REE)–rich concentrate from an Australian complex low–grade saprolite ore [1.14% total rare earth oxides (TREO) grade], which is primarily exploited for its gold and copper values.
This enables more efficient flotation of the rare earth minerals. Fig. 2.13. Low magnetic separation, high magnetic separation, flotation process. Full size image. Sodium silicate is used as a depressant and H 2 O 5 as collector. H205 is a kind of hydroxamic acid with amide as the polar end and aromatic hydrocarbon as the non-polar end.

Several techniques are available for separating rare earth ore from gangue minerals, including re-election, magnetic separation, electric separation, and froth flotation …
Common collectors for rare earth mineral (REM) flotation, which include carboxylates and hydroxamates, face problems such as being non-selective and sensitive to impurity ions. A type of ionic liquid (IL), tetraethylammonium mono-(2-ethylhexyl)2-ethylhexyl phosphonate ([N 2222][EHEHP]), has been investigated previously for rare earth elements …

Rare earth elements (REEs) found in coal are in the form of minerals, ion-adsorbed onto clay surfaces or inner layers, or organically bound. Rare earth minerals such as monazite exist in coal and have grain sizes smaller than 5 µm.

EDTA, a common complexing agent with a strong ability to form complexes with calcium ions, is utilized in rare earth ore flotation to effectively depress alkaline earth minerals like fluorite [123]. The mechanism involves EDTA chemically dissolving the collector adsorbed on gangue minerals and forming Ca-EDTA complexes on the mineral surface.
The primary rare earth minerals processed commercially are bastnäsite, monazite, and xenotime. One of the primary separation techniques used to beneficiate rare earth minerals is froth flotation because it allows the processing of a relatively wide range of fine particle sizes, can be tailored to the unique mineralogy of a specific deposit and has been successfully used …

This paper will outline the fundamentals and literature of rare earth mineral flotation, review its industrial applications and provide some recent research updates.
The flotation process is considered one of the most important techniques to separate rare earth minerals from associate minerals and is commonly applied to the beneficiation of rare earth ores. It is worth mentioning that this separation method is used to separate minerals by exploiting the differences in their surface wettability [ 12, 24 ].
