Rare earths filtered from phosphate mine waste
Jul 30, 2019 Based on our extraction capabilities, we could extract 75 grammes of total rare earths out of every 1,000 litres of phosphoric acid from a phosphate mine. "This equates to one Florida phosphate mine being able to produce 230 metric tonnes of total rare earths per year, which would supply an estimated 25% of the annual US Military needs."
