Leaching of rare earths from Abu Tartur (Egypt) phosphate rock with phosphoric acid

O. E. Roshdy et al.

Summary: The leaching of rare earth elements (REEs) from Egyptian Abu Tartur phosphate rock using phosphoric acid was examined and optimized for potential industrial feasibility. The optimal conditions for REEs leaching efficiency (96.7 +/- 0.9%) were determined: phosphoric acid concentration of 30 wt.-% P2O5, liquid/solid ratio of 5:1 (mL/g), temperature of 20 degrees C, and 120 min of leaching time. D2EHPA was applied as an organic solvent for REEs separation, resulting in rare earth oxides with a purity of 88.4%. The leach liquor was further treated to recover phosphoric acid and produce gypsum with a purity> 95%. A flow diagram for this cleaner production process was developed, and further experiments are proposed to validate its feasibility.

Effective and innovative procedures to use phosphogypsum waste in different application domains: review of the environmental, economic challenges and life cycle assessment

Brahim Bouargane et al.

Summary: Phosphogypsum (PG) waste is a by-product of wet-process phosphoric acid manufacturing, with global annual production ranging from 100 to 300 million tons. Only a small percentage of this waste is utilized, with the rest being discharged into the sea or stockpiled, posing risks to the environment and human health. This review explores alternative ways to recycle and use PG waste, highlighting its potential as a secondary raw material in a circular economy. The study also covers the applications of PG in various sectors, such as agriculture, brick and cement production, road construction, and rare earth elements extraction.

Multi-stage precipitation for the eco-friendly treatment of phosphogypsum leachates using hybrid alkaline reagents

Yuhe Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, a multi-stage precipitation approach using hybrid alkaline reagents was proposed to treat waste phosphogypsum (PG) leachates. The method achieved nearly 100% removal efficiencies for phosphate, fluoride, and metal ions, as well as satisfactory removal efficiencies for sulfate and ammonia nitrogen. The compositions of the generated mineral precipitates were comprehensively investigated, and the main precipitated mineral phases were identified as barite, brushite, and hydroxyapatite. The proposed method also showed a lower cost compared to other techniques. Overall, this study establishes an effective and eco-friendly approach for the treatment of waste PG leachates.

Leaching of rare earth elements from phosphogypsum

Sabrina F. Lutke et al.

Summary: This study investigates the leaching conditions and mechanisms of rare earth elements (REE) from phosphogypsum (PG). Through experimental design and optimization, high leaching efficiency values were obtained using sulfuric acid at a concentration of 2.9 mol L-1, a solid/liquid ratio of 1.7/20 g mL(-1), and a temperature of 55 C. The leaching kinetics results indicated that most REE reached equilibrium in about 20 minutes, and the mechanism investigation suggested that surface chemical reaction and diffusion through the boundary layer controlled the leaching process.

Study on the Kinetics of Hydration Transformation from Hemihydrate Phosphogypsum to Dihydrate Phosphogypsum in Simulated Wet Process Phosphoric Acid

Bingqi Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the hydration rate of alpha-hemihydrate phosphogypsum to dihydrate phosphogypsum in wet process phosphoric acid recrystallization is significantly influenced by temperature, phosphoric acid concentration, and SO42- ion concentration. Controlling temperature, phosphoric acid concentration, and SO42- ion concentration is crucial for improving the conversion rate of alpha-hemihydrate phosphogypsum to dihydrate phosphogypsum and product purity in the production of wet process phosphoric acid.

The Influence of Impurities on the Dehydration and Conversion Process of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate to α-Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate in the Two-Step Wet-Process Phosphoric Acid Production

Bingqi Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the dehydration kinetics of calcium sulfate dihydrate to alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate in wet-process phosphoric acid solution, with the addition of Fe3+, Al3+, Mg2+, SiF62-, and mixed impurities. The results showed that impurities increased activation enthalpy and decreased activation entropy, inhibiting the transformation of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Fe3+, Al3+, and Mg2+ impurities formed phosphate precipitates, hindering the growth of hemihydrate crystals, while SiF62- ions hindered one-dimensional growth, resulting in a decrease in crystal aspect ratio.
