Abstract
A cleaner process of extracting a target material from a resource without requiring additives, roasting, firing, heating, acid leaching, and base leaching, by separating the resource by group per characteristic category using a unique concentration ratio, and removing the target material. In the process, the resource may undergo at least one beneficiation stage and at least one separation stage, following the grouping step. The target material may be extracted as a concentrate.
Claims15
A method for extracting a target material from a resource, comprising:
- i. providing a resource containing at least one target material;
- ii. undergoing category grouping where the resource is separated into range groups for at least one predetermined characteristic category;
- iii. chemically analyzing each range group per characteristic category;
- iv. identifying at least one unique range group that has a ratio of metals and metalloids to volatiles equal to or greater than a preset value;
- v. applying at least one beneficiation technique to the identified group;
- and
- vi. applying at least one separation technique to remove the target material.
