Slide 23: What is an Ionic REE Clay?
What is an Ionic REE Clay? Three (3) potential modes of REE occurrence in a clay system: IONIC REE3+ 1. REE physically adsorbed on clay mineral surface Low acid + salt required COLLOIDAL KAOLIN O 2. REE chemically adsorbed on clay surface as a REE3+ “colloidal” phase (insoluble REE oxides or REE hyd
Slide 24: What is an Ionic REE Clay?
What is an Ionic REE Clay? Ionically attached REEs will “desorb” using a suitable “ion exchange” medium like ammonium (NH 4+) IONIC REE3+ 1. REE physically adsorbed on clay mineral surface KAOLIN 2. REE “liberated” using lixiviant like Ammonium Sulphate (NH4)2SO4 - REE ion “exchanges” with NH4+ ion
