1 EURARE: Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe s REE ore deposits Europe s Rare Earth Deposits, Mineralogy and Beneficiation MINERALS IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY (MINCE) / Espoo Jason Yang (GTK), Damien Krebs (GME)
2 Contents The rare earth elements (REE), the most important critical raw material in EU The REE minerals Europe s REE resources The EURARE project Mineralogy and Beneficiation of European REE ores Acknowledgement 2 MINCE Espoo
3 Light Rare Earths Lanthanum (La) Cerium (Ce) Praseodymium (Pr) Neodymium (Nd) Samarium (Sm) Heavy Rare Earths (Less common and more valuable) Europium (Eu) Gadolinium (Gd) Terbium (Tb) Dysprosium (Dy) Holmium (Ho) Erbium (Er) Thulium (Tm) Ytterbium (Yb) Lutetium (Lu) Yttrium (Y) Notes: Yttrium is lighter than the light rare earths, but included in the heavy rare earth group because of its chemical and physical associations with heavy rare earths in natural deposits. 3 MINCE Espoo
4 REE, the most important critical raw material in EU 4 Raw materials Main producers (2010, 2011, 2012) Main sources of imports into the EU (2012) Substitutability index* HREE China 99 % Australia 1 % China 41 % (all REE) 0.77 China 87 % Russia 35 % (all REE) LREE USA 7 % USA 17 % (all REE) 0.67 Australia 3 % * a measure of the difficulty in substituting the material, between 0 and 1 ** the proportion of metal and metal products produced from end-of-life scrap End-of-life recycling input rate** MINCE Espoo % 0 %
5 The REE minerals More than 200 minerals known to contain essential or significant REE concentrations Usually, they are carbonates, phosphates, oxides and silicates Xenotime YPO4 5 MINCE Espoo

11 Fen Complex, Norway Søvite REO: 0,5% (in apatite) Th: 0,01% Calcite (65%): Ca CO3 Apatite (12%):Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH) Niobium 11 Rødberg REO: 1,5-2,0% Th: 0,1% Fe-oxides (76%): magnetite, hematite, goethite REE in carbonates Rauhaugite REO:1,2-1,8% Th: 0,01% Ankerite(72%):Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO3 )2 REE minerals: parisite, allnite, monazite Historical (1921) REE deposit 129 km from Oslo Complex REE minerals: synchysite, parisite, monazite, allanite, bastnäsite, ferrocolumbite, pyrochlore and apatite % REO (mostly LREE) Contains also Fe, Nb, Th Rodberg: over 300 Mt ore at1,5-2.0 % REO; up to 76% Fe-oxides Fine grain size and low liberation of REE minerals MINCE Espoo
12 The EURARE project Funding from the European Community s Seventh Framework Programme ([FP7/ ]), effect from 01/01/2013 to 31/12/ partners from 10 European countries the main goal of the EURARE project is to set the technological basis for the development of a European REE industry that will safeguard the uninterrupted supply of REE raw materials and products to crucial for the EU economy industrial sectors, such as automotive, electronics, machinery and chemicals, in a sustainable, economically viable and environmentally friendly way. 12 MINCE Espoo
13 Objectives I. Definition and assessment of the exploitable REE mineral resources and REE demand in Europe. II. Development of sustainable and efficient REE Ore Beneficiation Technologies III. Development of sustainable REE Extraction and Refining Technologies, extraction, separation and production IV. The development of a Strategy for safe REE mining and processing V. Field Demonstration of the novel EURARE REE exploitation technologies. VI. Identification of novel sustainable exploitation schema for Europe s REE deposits. 13 MINCE Espoo

16 Challenges of European ores in beneficiation Complex compositions (several different minerals carry the REE in the same ore) Oxides, phosphates, carbonates and silicates require different methods or flotation reagents Mineral association and fine grain size Fine grinding is required for liberation of REE minerals. Low efficiency of mineral processing for fine particles. 16 MINCE Espoo
17 Progress in beneficiation of European REE ores Kvanefjeld ore: multi-stage flotation Norra Kärr ore: WHIMS, flotation Olserum ore: WLIMS, flotation Kringlerne ore: DHIMS FEN Rodberg ore: WHIMS, flotation, smelting and chemical leach Nea Peramos ore: Gravity, mag and electro separation 17 MINCE Espoo
