Study of Extraction of Rare Earth Elements from Hard Coal Fly Ash
Abstract
Rare earth elements (REEs) extraction from wastes and/or by-products is alternative possibility of their winning. The occurrence of
REEs, namely 50.1 ppm of La, 100.1 ppm of Ce and 44.3 ppm of Nd was confirmed in solid fly ash samples from the coal fired heating
plant (TEKO, Inc. Košice, eastern Slovakia). The submitted contribution presents laboratory results of REEs leaching from coal fly ash
using 3M HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4 at 80°C during 120 min.
It was found, that recoveries 65.5% of La, 64.4% Ce and 64.3% of Nd into liquor may be attained after grain size reduction to below
5 μm.
