Abstract: Described herein are technologies for concentrating rare-earth elements from a heavy fraction of grit in gangue produced in kaolin mining. In some examples, grit is separated as a non-clay fraction of gangue produced in a kaolin mining operation. The grit is separated into a heavy mineral grit sub-fraction and a light mineral grit sub-fraction. Rare-earth elements, particularly heavy rare-earth elements, are thereafter extracted from the heavy mineral grit sub-fraction using various extraction technologies.

Abstract: A tuning fork sensor system places a controlled bias on the proof-mass drive-axis electrodes to cancel the quadrature charge. Also, its charge amplifiers employ a field-effect transistor biased slightly into the triode region so that it behaves as a very large value resistor. In addition, it uses a phase-locked loop having a special loop filter in order to optimize performance by rejecting off-frequency drive feedthrough to the motor pick-off while resulting in very low phase wander for the demodulation references.
