Simultaneous leaching of rare earth elements and phosphorus from a Chinese phosphate ore using H3PO4

Although phosphate rock has been considered as a potential new rare earth elements (REEs) resource, the recovery of REEs from phosphate rock is impeded by technical challenges and cost issues. This study investigated the effects of operation conditions on the leaching efficiencies of REEs and phosph...
