The traditional direct reduction–separation approach used to economically and effectively treat copper slag (CS) or phosphate rock (PR) encounters challenges, such as low metal recovery, high cost, and high additive requirements. In this paper, an ecofriendly process for synchronously utilizing CS and PR by compound modification and …
Phosphate rock has been considered as having a high supply risk since the high corporate concentrations in production, meaning a small amount of producers (four countries, China, Morocco, the USA, …
A relatively rapid, economic and robust procedure is described for the radiometric analysis of uranium in phosphate rock and phosphogypsum. The analysis is performed by alpha spectroscopy after pre-concentration and separation of uranium by liquid-extraction using tributyl-phosphate (30% TBP in dodecan) and finally its …
