Extraction of selected rare earth elements from anthracite acid mine drainage using supercritical CO2 via coagulation and complexation

Guanrong Song et al.

Summary: This study focused on using supercritical CO2 to extract rare earth elements (REEs) from mine drainage water, developing a method involving metal ion coagulation, dissolution, complexation, and extraction. The results showed that overall REE extraction efficiencies increase with the atomic number of the REE.

Signatures of rare earth element distributions in fly ash derived from the combustion of Central Appalachian, Illinois, and Powder River basin coals

James C. Hower et al.

Summary: The distribution of Rare Earth elements (REE) in coal-derived fly ashes varies depending on the coal source and basins. Different coal types exhibit variations in REE concentration and distribution in fly ashes. The signature of REE in fly ashes can be indicative of their behavior in extraction processes, but the actual distribution may differ between fly ashes from different basins.

Distribution of rare earth elements in the pilot-scale processing of fly ashes derived from eastern Kentucky coals: Comparisons of the feed and processed ashes

James C. Hower et al.

Summary: Beneficiated fly ash from the combustion of Central Appalachian high volatile bituminous coals was extracted with HNO3 in a pilot-scale processing plant. The post-HNO3-extraction spent ash showed depleted major oxides and minor elements, with a significant reduction in total lanthanides, Y, and Sc concentration. Heavy rare earth elements and Y were disproportionately concentrated in the HNO3-leachate compared to light REE, while Sc did not partition between the feed and spent ashes. The spent ash + ordinary Portland cement mixes exhibited comparable compressive strength and strength activity indices to 100% OPC, indicating potential for commercial use as a Class F fly ash. Ultimately, the chemistry of the beneficiated ash influenced the composition of the post-HNO3-extraction spent ash and HNO3-leachate.
