Dry chlorination of spent nickel metal hydride battery waste for water leaching of battery metals and rare earth elements

An efficient leaching process was developed for nickel, cobalt, and the rare earth elements (REEs) from spent nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery waste. The process involves dry chlorination with ammonium chloride in low temperature to produce water-soluble chlorinated compounds, followed by simple water leaching. The factors affecting the conversion and solubilization were studied, including the amount of ammonium chloride, residence time and temperature in dry chlorination, and solid to liquid ratio, time and temperature in water leaching. As a result, the dry chlorination process was found to produce ammonium and chloride containing products, depending on the temperature of the process: …

Occurrence and recovery potential of rare earth elements in Finnish peat and biomass combustion fly ash

Rare earth elements (REEs) are highly important in the modern society as a result of their wide use in various fields of industry. Their high supply risk and increase in demand has led to classification as critical materials, and consequently, new resources for REEs are being prospected widely. Coal fly ash has been suggested as a possible secondary resource for REEs, but very little information is available regarding REE occurrence in biomass or peat derived fly ash. In this paper, fly ash samples from commercial power plants using peat and biomass as fuel were studied for REEs. The average concentration of REEs was 530 ppm, with up to 920 ppm in one fly ash. Five out of seven fly ashes we…

Harvinaisista maametalleista ja niiden erotusmenetelmistä

Työn tarkoituksena oli selvittää soveltuvia kemiallisia tekniikoita harvinaisten maametallien erottamiseen sekä luontaisista, että ihmisperäisen teollisuuden lähteistä. Tavoitteena oli saavuttaa hyvä näkemys aiheen historiasta, kehityksestä ja nykytilasta. Harvinaiset maametallit ovat kemiallisesti samankaltainen joukko, johon sisältyvät skandium, yttrium ja lantanoidit. Työssä käydään läpi harvinaisten maametallien keskeinen kemia, käyttö, saatavuus ja maailmanmarkkinoiden asettamat haasteet. Kiinan harvinaisten maametallien tuotanto ja sen aiheuttamat vaikutukset maailmankauppapolitiikkaan ovat merkittäviä, ja työssä korostetaan tällä hetkellä vallitsevaa tilannetta harvinaisten maametall…

In-depth structural analysis of lanthanoid coordination networks based on a flexible tripodal zwitterionic isonicotinate ligand

Crystallizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been studied using a tripodal pyridinecarboxylic acid derivative ligand and selected lanthanoid salts. The zwitterionic ligand, 1,1′,1′′-((2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(methylene))tris(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate) (TTTPC) introduced as a bromide salt, forms coordination networks in aqueous environments and under ambient conditions with neodymium bromide, trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) or acetate (OAc). Seven structures are elucidated in detail using single crystal X-ray crystallography. TTTPC NdBr3, TTTPC NdBr2OTf, TTTPC NdBr(OTf)2 and TTTPC Nd(OTf)3 are porous 3D networks with similar ligand–metal and ligand–anion interactions, b…
