Processing a rare earth mineral deposit using gravity and magnetic
Gravity separation is used in mineral processing to separate minerals based on differences in specific gravity. The most common and successful type of gravity separator used for fine particle sizes is a centrifugal gravity concentrator (Falconer, 2003).These separators introduce a mineral slurry into a rapidly rotating bowl to generate centrifugal forces on the …

A clean way to extract rare earth metals
Rare earth metals — those 17 chemically similar elements at the bottom of the periodic table — are in almost every piece of technology we use from cell phones to wind turbines to electric cars. Because these elements are so similar to each other, the process of separating them is time consuming, expensive, and dangerous.
