Purification, characterization and application of cherty rocks as sorbent for separation and preconcentration of rare earths
Cherty rocks, most abundant byproduct of mining industry, were used as adsorbent for the extraction of rare earth elements. Purified chert was characterized by various analytical methods (XRD, FX-ED, MEB, FTIR, laser granulometry). XRD patterns showed diffraction peaks of quartz, tridymite, cristoba...
