Slide 2: LAMP generates two major residues
Lynas Advanced Material Plant (LAMP) generates TWO major residues 1. Water Leached Purification residue (WLP) a. produced from the precipitation of post leaching liquor with MgO b. is primarily iron phosphate, with minor iron hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide and gypsum. c. Contains Thorium at activity
Slide 3: Chemical compositions of WLP and NUF
Chemical compositions of WLP and NUF NUF @ MRSG WLP Content % wet wt Content % wet wt Gypsum 73-74 Iron phosphate 25-50 Ca2SO4.2H2O FePO4.nH2O Magnesium hydroxide 17.1 Calcium carbonate 5-25 Mg(OH)2 CaCO3 Calcium hydroxide 4.2 Phosphogypsum 1-10 Ca(OH)2 (Ca,P)SO4 (H2O)x Calcium carbonate 2.3 Uranium
Slide 4: Lynas Zero Harm subscribes to best practices in residue management
Lynas Zero Harm subscribes to National and International BEST practices in residue management Lynas’ vision of “Zero Harm” and comprehensive approach to sustainability self-regulates Lynas to adopt the best practicable and innovative environmental strategies for reduction of residues generated. This
