Abstract

In modern technology, more and more attention is paid to waste recycling and waste-free production. Due to the shortage of rare and rare earth metals for the innovative development of the economy of the Russian Federation, the urgency of the problem of extracting these metals from man-made deposits, among which carbon enrichment waste can be considered, is substantiated. During the development of conditions for the extraction of rare and rare-earth elements from a mixture of carbon enrichment waste – rocks with heavymedium separation and deposition, their chemical opening and subsequent cold water leaching were carried out. It was revealed that in systems with forced introduction of lanthanum(III) oxide, lanthanum passes into the filtrate by 70%, in the case of real systems, only 40% of lanthanum passes into the filtrate. The same dependence is observed for other lanthanides of the cerium group. Rare-earth elements of the yttrium group pass from the waste to the filtrate as well as lanthanides of cerium only by 40%.
