Details |
| Appearance |
Soft clay-rich material, earthy brown to reddish color, low-density, moisture-retaining. |
| Properties |
- High concentration of Heavy Rare Earths (Dy, Tb, Y, Gd)
- REEs weakly bonded → easy to leach
- Low radioactivity
- Environmental sensitivity in extraction
|
| Applications |
- Source of Dysprosium & Terbium (high-temp magnets)
- EV motor & wind turbine supply chain
- Heavy rare-earth separation feedstock
- Specialty alloys, phosphors, batteries
|
| Production |
- In-situ or heap leaching using ammonium sulfate
- Solvent extraction from pregnant solution
- Calcination to oxide form
|
| Market Value |
- Very high value due to scarce HREE deposits
- Critical for high-performance EV magnets
- Pricing driven by Dy/Tb content & environmental rules
|
| REE TYPE |
HREE dominant (Dy, Tb, Y, Gd) |
| Radioactivity |
Very-Low |
