Pre-processing of coal combustion fly ash by classification for enrichment of rare earth elements

Fly ash from the combustion of coal shows potential as a source of valuable metals like the rare earth elements (REEs). These are present in the fly ash at low concentrations. Thus, simple dry pre-processing methods that can produce REE-enriched fractions from the fly ash could improve the feasibili...
