Preface
Rare Metal Technology 2019 is the proceedings of the symposium on Rare Metal
Extraction & Processing sponsored by the Hydrometallurgy and Electrometallurgy
Committee of the TMS Extraction and Processing Division. The symposium has
beenorganizedtoencompasstheextractionofraremetalsaswellasrareextraction
processingtechniquesusedinmetalproductionandmineralprocessing.Thisisthe
sixth symposium since 2014.
This symposium intends to cover research and developments in the extraction
and processing of less common, rare metals that are not covered by other TMS
symposia. These elements include antimony, bismuth, barium, beryllium, boron,
calcium, chromium, gallium, germanium, hafnium, indium, manganese, molybde-
num, platinum group metals, rare earth metals, rhenium, scandium, selenium,
sodium,strontium,tantalum,tellurium,gold,andtungsten.Theseareraremetalsof
lowtonnagesalescomparedwithhightonnagemetals,suchasiron,copper,nickel,
lead, tin, zinc, or light metals, such as aluminium, magnesium, or titanium and
electronic metalloid silicon. Rare processing includes biometallurgy, hydrometal-
lurgy, electrometallurgy, supercritical fluid extraction, as well as extraction of
values from electric arc furnace (EAF) dusts, waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE) and less common waste streams not discussed in recycling
symposia. Rare high-temperature processes include microwave heating, solar–
thermal reaction synthesis, molten salt electrochemical processes, cold crucible
synthesis of the rare metals, and the design of extraction equipment used in these
processes as well as laboratory and pilot plant studies.
This volume covers extraction and processing techniques of platinum group
metals, rare earth elements as well as other less common metals, such as lead,
antimony, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, titanium, and vanadium, including
electrochemical processing, aqueous processing, biological separation, microwave
heating, and supercritical extraction.
