Abstract

A product containing more than 60% of rare earth metal oxides is recovered from an ore or ore concentrate containing a fluoride, fluorcarbonate, oxyfluoride, borofluoride and/or silicofluoride of rare earth metals and gangue comprising baryte by heating said ore or ore concentrate at 850-1000 DEG C. under oxidizing conditions with an amount of an alkali metal or alkali metal compound, which is converted to oxide under the reaction conditions, at least equivalent to the fluorine of the ore or ore concentrate, and leaching the treated material with water. If necessary, to obtain the required percentage of rare earth metal oxide in the product, the residue after leaching is separated by gravity from the baryte remaining therewith. Alkali metal compounds which may be used include carbonates, bicarbonates, nitrates, peroxides, hydroxides, nitrites and cyanides; sodium carbonate may be used in excess of the stoichiometric amount by 5-100%; rare earth metals referred to are cerium and lanthanum; in the examples a bastnasite baryte concentrate was employed. In the reaction alkali metal fluorides are formed (with some sulphate from the baryte) and the recovery of fluorine as sodium fluoride or by precipitation with a calcium compound, as calcium fluoride, is mentioned. U.S.A. Specification 2,735,747, which describes heating rare earth metal carbonate ores to convert them to oxides, is referred to.
