  • Pyrometallurgy and Electrometallurgy of Rare Earths – Part A: Analysis of Metallothermic Reduction and Its Variants
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 18 March 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202103.0463.v1 Page 1 of 14 Pyrometallurgy and electrometallurgy of rare earths – Part A: Analysis of metallothermic reduction and its variants Muhammad Musaddique Ali Rafique Eastern Engineering Solutions Inc., Cambridge, MA 02139 E: [email protected] Abstract Rare earths are classified as most important and critical material for US economy and defense by Congress and a mandate has been set to increase their in-house production, domestic resource utilization and decrease reliance on foreign resources and reserves. They are widely available in earth crust as ore (bastnaesite (La, Ce)FCO3, monazite, (Ce, La, Y, Th)PO4, and xenotime, YPO4), but their so-called economic reserves are sparsely located geographically. They may be produced by various means such as beneficiation (physical, chemical, mechanical, or electrical), reduction (direct or indirect), electrolysis (of aqueous or molten / fused single or mixed salt systems) at high temperature or hydrometallurgy. Out of these, direct reduction also known as metallothermic reduction (La and Ca reduction) is mostly utilized. Its variant, high temperature electrowinning of fused salts is also practiced widely. These processes are material and application specific. In this study, author will employ thermodynamics (Ellingham diagrams, -2 free energy of formation, reduction potential, Nernst equation, Pourbaix (Eh-pH) diagrams, E-pO diagrams), kinetics and energetic of a chemical reaction (chemical metallurgy) to reduce rare earth oxide / salt to rare earth metals (REO/RES – REM). It is shown that materials and energy requirement vary greatly depending on type of mineral ore, production facility, and beneficiation / mineral processing method selected.

As we developed the means to achieve higher temperatures in the melting and smelting processes, so too did we advance in our metalworking and alloying technologies. Those ores and metals that could be smelted and melted at lower temperatures were the first to be developed into the weaponry, tools, and jewelry of the day. Metals with lower melting points such as copper, and its alloy bronze, were discovered long before iron and its alloy steel. Also, the pure metals, like copper and iron, were used before their alloys, bronze and steel. 4 Basic Principles of Metallurgy and Metalworking Metals found in ancient history Ancient civilizations knew of seven metals: • Iron • Tin • Lead • Copper • Mercury • Silver • Gold Not all metal required heat in order to be processed.
