The global lithium resource reserves are 22 Mt (metal) (USGS, 2022), of which 34% are from hard rock lithium mines (Li LJ et al., 2018), mainly including Australia Greenbushes, Canada Quebec, China Jiajika, Zimbabwe Bikita and other pegmatite lithium deposits (Zhang SJ et al., 2020; Yang HP, et al. 2019).There are more than 150 kinds of …

Theadvantages of this process lie in low its maintance cost and good adaptability. It can deal with scheelite concentrate, wolframite concentrate orlow-grade tungsten ore. But it …

The current commercial tungsten extractive metallurgy by soda/caustic soda digestion with solvent extraction or ion exchange step can use various raw materials and obtain the uniform and high ...

The world reserves of tungsten are estimately 4.000.000 t W of which China holds about 40% (Bernhart, 2015).The five major types of tungsten ore deposits from which most ore is currently produced are skarn, vein/stockwork, porphyry, disseminated or greisen, and stratabound (BGS, 2011).Typical grades (WO 3 %), …

Pre-concentration is effectively applied in recovering wolframite from tungsten ore, due to its benefits of further upgrading tungsten ore and improving separation efficiency.

During soda-ash roasting of ludwigite ore, sodium carbonate would react with both szaibelyite and lizardite, hindering the selective activation of boron. Hence, the dosage of sodium carbonate and

Soda-ash roasting proves to be a facile approach for boron activation and extraction, wherein magnetite frequently was converted to hematite, which affects the subsequent recovery of iron. This work investigated the phase transformations, microstructure evolution and magnetism changes of soda-ash roasted ludwigite ore under different O 2 concentra-

The pilot test was conducted in the multi-stage mixed settler system with 9-stage extraction, 4-stage scrubbing, 14-stage stripping and 1-stage regeneration, and it had been consecutively ran for 72 h.The feed was the autoclave-caustic soda leaching solution of the wolframite concentrate shown as feed A in Table 1.The pilot test showed …

Ludwigite ore is a typical low-grade boron ore accounting for 58.5% boron resource of China, which is mainly composed of magnetite, lizardite and szaibelyite. During soda-ash roasting of ludwigite ore, …
