Fluorinating Agent

The paper describes the advantages and characteristics of the fluoride technology applicable for the recovery of oxides of rare earth elements with the help of a fluorinating agent of elemental fluorine. A metallurgical mixture (2.5 m2/g) of rare earth elements oxides of the cerium subgroup, containing % wt.: CeO2 - 50-55; La2 O3 - 23-25; Pr6O11 - 6-9, and Nd2O3 - 13-16 were studied. It has been shown, that using fluoride technology allows recovering mixture of rare earth elements with outlet no less than 98.9 %.

Natural Pattern

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) technique was used to investigate the abundance and distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in soil around Kaduna Refinery. The aim of the study is to assess the rare elements potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation. Five REEs (La, Dy, Eu, Yb, and Lu) were detected in varying concentrations ranging from a minimum of 0.6 µg/g (Lu) to a maximum of 249.0 µg/g (La). The elements existed with trends consistent with the natural pattern of REEs in soil, showing significant Eu and Dy anomalies which characterize upper plains and flood plains. The levels of REEs in soil in the study area were generally slightly above background levels, with minimal (La, Dy, and Eu), moderate (Yb), and significant (Lu) enrichments and trending: Lu ˃Yb ˃ Eu ˃ Dy ˃ La. The abundance of the REEs investigated cannot establish a potential of Nigeria for economic exploitation of the mineral, hence, rare earth project in the study area is not viable at the moment.
