Demand for technologies delivering renewable energy and improving efficiencies are set to increase with the worldwide movement towards low carbon economies. Many of these reliant on "critical metals": metals considered both important society vulnerable supply disruption. Significant concentrations critical have reported mining processing wastes over time; thus, an opportunity exists meet metal demand through re-processing wastes. Mining significantly different properties run mine ores. This...
This review examines recent technological developments for recovering critical metals from mining and metallurgical waste streams, focusing on Co, Ga, Ge, In, Li, Ni, Re, Te, Sn, W, V. Novel approaches using electrochemical methods, membranes, solvent extraction, biomining are critically evaluated their effectiveness potential industrial adoption. Key competitive advantages of these technologies discussed, along with aspects requiring further research, such as process control, fouling...
Abstract Jarosite and related subgroup minerals are of high importance in mineral processing, as sources sinks for metals acidity the environment, they have potential to preserve elemental isotopic biomarkers relevant search life solar system. The crystal structures chemistry jarosite affect their stability reactivity thus roles play natural engineered systems. Rhombohedral symmetry has been documented synthetic jarosites, whereas monoclinic only jarosites. This research reports occurrence a...
