Abstract

The parameters for efficient nitric acid leaching were experimentally determined, which ensured the recoveries of Zr and REEs from eudialyte concentrate up to 87.0%–91.7% and 76.0%–81.1%, respectively. The possibility was shown of intensifying the leaching process through preliminary energy treatments to ensure the intensive breakdown of mineral complexes and grains; as a result, the recovery of Zr and REEs increased by more than 10%. A process was developed for the selective recovery of up to 91.5% of zirconium and up to 71.2% of REEs in the form of carbonate compounds from the pregnant solution of nitric acid leaching by chemical precipitation as well as up to 81.1% REEs and up to 91.7% zirconium on hypercrosslinked polystyrene sorbents.
