  • MATERIALS, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR CONVERTING RARE EARTH DOUBLE SULFATES INTO RARE EARTH CARBONATES
    Publication number: 20240158252
    Abstract: Mixed rare earth carbonate may be prepared by mixing a rare earth double sulfate salt solid with a conversion agent comprising a sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution, to form a slurry mixture, and generating a low sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake from the slurry mixture.
    Type: Application

  • MATERIALS, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR GENERATING RARE EARTH CARBONATES
    Publication number: 20230017341
    Abstract: Mixed rare earth carbonate may be prepared by mixing a rare earth sulfate solution with a precipitating agent comprising a first sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution, to form a first mixture, and generating a higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake from the first mixture. The higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake can be mixed with a second sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution to form a second mixture, and a lower sulfate rare earth carbonate can be generated from the second mixture.
