Azimi G. Rare Metal Technology 2020

Textbook in PDF format

Rare Metal Technology 2020 is the proceedings of the symposium on Rare Metal Extraction & Processing sponsored by the Hydrometallurgy and Electrometallurgy Committee of the TMS Extraction & Processing Division. The symposium has been organized to encompass the extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production and mineral processing. This is the seventh symposium since 2014.
This symposium covers research and developments in the extraction and processing of rare metals from primary and secondary sources such as laterite ore, electric arc furnace (EAF) dusts, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) including fluorescent lamps and lithium-ion batteries. Rare metals include strategic metals that are in increasing demand and subject to supply risks (those that are not covered by other TMS symposia). The symposium is focused on primary production as well as secondary production through urban mining and recycling to enable the circular economy. Processing techniques including, but not limited to, hydrometallurgy (solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation, and crystallization), electrometallurgy (electrorefining and electrowinning), pyrometallurgy, and aeriometallurgy (supercritical fluid extraction) are discussed in this symposium.
