Description

This is a “start-up” type project that aims to chemically and mineralogically characterize mine tailings. This characterization is oriented to identify elements and chemical substances that correspond to the so-called Rare Earths (17 chemical elements of rare occurrence in the earth’s crust). Once this characterization is established, the technological possibilities of extracting those substances from the mineral source that contains them will be evaluated theoretically. Therefore, this stage of the project will be used to later approach more extensive aspects of a metallurgical research for the recovery of rare earths.
