Heavy mineral (HM) sands are usually exploited for titanium and zirconium minerals such as rutile, ilmenite and zircon, but also contain a variety of possible co/by-products, including critical metals such as rare earth elements (REE) in minerals such as monazite and xenotime.
REEs are not as rare as their name suggests. They are lithophile elements (elements enriched in the earth's crust), which have a total crustal abundance of 220 ppm (Table 1), even higher than that of carbon (200 ppm).Moreover, some REEs are more abundant than most of the frequently used industrial metals, such as copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), and …

Heavy mineral sands are extracted by dredge (Figure 8), bucket-wheel excavators or draglines, and bulldozers.The raw material is then processed, first by gravity concentrators, to remove light minerals; the concentrate is scrubbed and dried, ilmenite, leucoxene, and rutile being removed by magnetic and high-tension techniques (Figure 9).The remaining minerals are then separated …
Concentration of rare earth elements in (A) wet sand and (B) dry sand collected from seven sea beaches in Southern California. Mass of the elements is normalized by the dry weight of the sand. The ratio of LREEs/HREEs ranges from 0.74 to 5.72 with a mean value of 3.5, which depicts that LREEs are 3.5 times more enriched than the HREEs in the ...
