CHLORINATION AND SELECTIVE VAPORIZATION OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS by Daniel W. Gaede A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Montana Tech 2016 i Abstract Rare earth elements are part of the lanthanide series in the periodic table. The uses and applications for these elements are ever increasing. Applications vary from smart phones to medical imaging equipment and more. Current separation techniques used today are hydrometallurgically intensive. The purpose of this study was to investigate a pyrometallurgical alternative to separate rare earth elements in ores. The proposed method, chlorination, would convert the rare earth oxides to chlorides and then apply vapor phase separation techniques to isolate the rare earth chlorides by temperature. Various reagent grade rare earth oxides were initially studied to determine chlorination efficiencies. Chlorination optimization experiments were then performed on Yb2O3, where the parameters were refined. Experimental products were analyzed by x-ray diffraction and inductively coupled mass spectrometry to determine overall conversion efficiency. The o optimized parameters of 330 C, a molar ratio (NH4Cl:REO) of 21:1, and a time at temperature of one hour were applied to actual rare earth ore and concentrate samples. Overall conversion efficiencies of 92.15% were achieved from concentrate samples and 94.51% from ore samples. A sequential method was applied to high temperature vaporization experimentation. First, thermogravimetric analysis and individual vaporization experiments were performed on reagent grade rare earth chlorides. Next, trials proceeded to separate mixed series of light and heavy reagent grade rare earth chlorides. Lastly, vaporization techniques were applied to chlorinated ore samples. Results were determined through SEM evaluation on the captured residues. Although selective vaporization was observed, further evaluation is necessary to understand and refine the process. Keywords Rare Earths, Halogenation, Chlorination, Volatization, Vapor Phase Extraction, Thermodynamics ii Dedication First, I would like to dedicate this to my family, for without their support through the highs and lows, this would not have been possible. Words are not enough. Next, my friends, for their reality checks, humor, and support. Lastly, I wish to acknowledge my overall experience here in Montana. It has been a blast, and I would like to think I have been able to experience more than most who just come out for school. The friendships and experiences are memorable to say the least. From outlandish camping and hunting trips up in the mountains, swimming, floating, and fishing the rivers, incredible snowboarding, breathtaking views, a couple of summers being able to work for the Forest Service (KNF D-4 FIRE), and everything in between, it has been great, and all of it has been worth it!! iii Acknowledgments Bryce Ruffier for working alongside me in the lab through all the ups, downs, late nights, and molten accidents, as well as Ryan Foy and Sean Dudley, fellow graduate students. Neil Wahl and Rod James for their patience, inspiring, and insightful conversations. Dr. Huang and his help with StabCal, allowing me to dig in and begin to understand the rare earth chloride system.

This paper is written to be read by both specialists and a wider audience. However, it contains many mineral names. While these may resonate in the minds of mineralogists or collectors, they may not be as meaningful to less discerning readers. Such readers should not be scared, for they may find excellent encyclopaedic records on the web, including chemical composition, crystallographic properties and description of each of these species. This is why we have decided not to include further information in this paper. Acknowledgements. I would like to thank the mineralogists with whom I have had the opportunity to maintain fruitful exchanges for a long time: my pupil Hubert Bari, Éric Asselborn, Cédric Lheur, François Farges. And I would like to honour the memories of René Weil (1901-1983), my master in descriptive mineralogy, and of Jacques Geffroy (1918-1993), pupil of Alfred Lacroix, my master in metallogeny.

  • The Partnership of Smithson Tennant and William Hyde Wollaston
    “A History of Platinum and its Allied Metals”, by Donald McDonald and Leslie B. Hunt 9 The Partnership of Smithson Tennant and William Hyde Wollaston “A quantity of platina was purchased by me a few years since with the design of rendering it malleable for the different purposes to which it is adapted. That object has now been attained. ” WILLIAM HYDE W O L L A S T O N Up to the end of the eighteenth century the attempts to produce malleable platinum had advanced mainly in the hands of practical men aiming at its pre­ paration and fabrication rather than at the solution of scientific problems. These were now to be attacked with a marked degree of success by two remarkable but very different men who first became friends during their student days at Cam ­ bridge and who formed a working partnership in 1800 designed not only for scientific purposes but also for financial reasons. They were of the same genera­ tion and much the same background as the professional scientists of London whose work was described in Chapter 8, and to whom they were well known, but with the exception of Humphry Davy they were of greater stature and made a greater advance in the development of platinum metallurgy than their predecessors. Their combined achievements over a relatively short span of years included the successful production for the first time of malleable platinum on a truly com­ mercial scale as well as the discovery of no less than four new elements contained in native platinum, a factor that was of material help in the purification and treatment of platinum itself.

(1) FEW branches of inorganic chemistry present difficulties com­ parable with those involved in the study and separation of the platinum metals. 'rheir close analogy with each other, and the remarkllble manner in which the relations of each to chemical reagents are controlled by the presence of the others, give rise to difficulties in their detection and separation which are only by degrees being surmounted. Much time and unwearied labor on the part of the chemist are required to rench results whith when obtained appear insignificant in proportion to the effort which they cost, and it may ill fnct be said that the platinum metals constitute a chemistry in themselves, governed by special rules and to be studied by special method~. Each step in the simplification of the processes by which the separations are effected, each decisive reaction by which the presence or ab­ sence of a member of the group may be certainly iuferred, is so much gained toward conquering a complete knowledge of these rare and mteresting bodies.

  • High Temperature Sulfate Minerals Forming on the Burning Coal Dumps from Upper Silesia, Poland
    minerals Article High Temperature Sulfate Minerals Forming on the Burning Coal Dumps from Upper Silesia, Poland Jan Parafiniuk * and Rafał Siuda Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw, Zwirki˙ i Wigury 93, 02-089 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: j.parafi[email protected] Abstract: The subject of this work is the assemblage of anhydrous sulfate minerals formed on burning coal-heaps. Three burning heaps located in the Upper Silesian coal basin in Czerwionka-Leszczyny, Radlin and Rydułtowy near Rybnik were selected for the research. The occurrence of godovikovite, millosevichite, steklite and an unnamed MgSO4, sometimes accompanied by subordinate admixtures of mikasaite, sabieite, efremovite, langbeinite and aphthitalite has been recorded from these locations. Occasionally they form monomineral aggregates, but usually occur as mixtures practically impossible to separate. The minerals form microcrystalline masses with a characteristic vesicular structure resembling a solidified foam or pumice. The sulfates crystallize from hot fire gases, similar to high temperature volcanic exhalations. The gases transport volatile components from the center of the fire but their chemical compositions are not yet known. Their cooling in the near-surface part of the heap results in condensation from the vapors as viscous liquid mass, from which the investigated minerals then crystallize. Their crystallization temperatures can be estimated from direct measurements of the temperatures of sulfate accumulation in the burning dumps and studies of their thermal ◦ decomposition. Millosevichite and steklite crystallize in the temperature range of 510–650 C, MgSO4 Citation: Parafiniuk, J.; Siuda, R. forms at 510–600 ◦C and godovikovite in the slightly lower range of 280–450 (546) ◦C.

Clay, Ph.D. Laura Stark, Ph.D. Elsa Filosa, Ph.D. Francesca Trivellato, Ph.D. For my parents, Jim and Lisa ii Acknowledgements I have benefitted from the generosity of many individuals in my odyssey to complete this dissertation. My sincerest thanks go to Professor William Caferro who showed me how to call up documents at the Archivio di Stato in Florence, taught me Italian paleography, read each chapter, and provided thoughtful feedback. It has been a blessing working closely with a scholar who is as great as he is at doing history. I have certainly learned by his example, watching as he spends his own time reading, translating, writing, and editing. I have attempted to emulate his productivity, and I know that I would not have finished the ultimate academic enterprise without his guidance. Professor Caferro pruned my prose without bruising my ego, too badly. I must also extend my warmest thanks to the other members of my committee, Professor Lauren Clay, Professor Laura Stark, Professor Elsa Filosa, and Professor Francesca Trivellato. I am also grateful to Professor Monique O’Connell, my undergraduate advisor at Wake Forest University. Monique was the first to introduce me to the historiographical complexities of Italian history and intellectual thought.
