Book excerpt: This compilation from the 2018 Beneficiation of Phosphates Conference includes insights from dozens of internationally respected experts on key breakthroughs that will shape the industry in the years ahead. Learn from the best and the brightest in the industry. The book reflects on the recent impetus for reviewed research in the recovery of rare earth elements from secondary resources. Recovery of rare earth elements from phosphate processing has been one of the important projects of the Critical Materials Institute (CMI). This compilation highlights some of the findings of the CMI phosphate project. Learn how competition in the flotation reagent market has stimulated innovative reagent development work. As a result, new reagents have been formulated and targeted at dolomite flotation, calcite flotation, more selective phosphate flotation, and even flotation in seawater. The Florida phosphate industry is seeing improvements in the processing of high dolomite reserves. Recent encouraging developments include new reagents that can float dolomite without using phosphoric acid as a phosphate depressant, reducing MgO content in the “Crago” flotation concentrate thus allowing blending of some high-dolomite pebbles in the final product, and innovative gravity separation. Topics include: Sustainability and the Environment Comprehensive Extraction and Smart Chemistry Flotation Fundamentals and Reagents Advances in Processing Technology and Equipment
