An innovative process for extracting scandium from
Jan 01, 2020· This result explains the reason for the negative impact of carbon-to-ore ratio on the scandium concentration in a slag phase. At carbon mass fraction of 0.33 and 0.5, some residual graphite was detected, suggesting that the solid-solid reaction between scandium oxide and carbon is slow, since solid-solid reactions are mostly controlled by the

A new and prospective resource for scandium: Evidence from
Nov 01, 2018· Scandium is a critical element in state-of-the-art, green technologies. However, it is also extremely expensive due to its scarcity. Recently, some deep-sea sediments that contain significant amounts of rare-earth elements that are indispensable to modern industries have been discovered in the western North Pacific Ocean, and the concentration of Sc in these sediments is comparable with that

The Economic Geology of Scandium, the Runt of the Rare
In many scandium deposits, clinopyroxene is the main ore mineral, although in some deposits scandium is hosted by minerals that also concentrate the other REEs. As is the case for these other REEs, the main source of scandium is the mantle and the conveyors of scandium are alkaline igneous rocks (and carbonatites), including Alaskan-type
