Ideas for a Selective Non-Toxic Leach for PGMs+Au (1 reply)

3 years ago

I have a non-magnetic concentrate consisting of monazite, xenotime and euxenite rich in REE. This concentrate has locked and free values containing both PGMs and Au. I am investigating ways on how I could potentially leach the concentrate selectively to remove precious metals yet keep the REE to ship out. Gravity concentration has been investigated and looking for an intensive leach reactor to process concentrates in the future.

Would getting all metals into solution and then selectively recovering the PGMs and Au and leave the REEs in the solution be an option?
