The sortable fraction of Wolverine ore can be successfully sorted to give an impressive 90 per cent total rare earth oxide recovery. When combined with non-sortable fines this achieves a whopping 45 per cent grade increase to the mill and over 95 per cent total rare earth oxide recovery when feeding a 0.9 per cent total rare earth oxide ore.

Rare earth element (REE) production is limited in part by inefficient strategies for beneficiation. Hydroxamic acid ligands are promising reagents for the selective flotation of bastnäsite [(Ce,La)FCO 3], a major REE ore mineral, but the mechanism and energetics of adsorption are not understood, interfering with the design of new, more efficient reagents.

The flotation of rare earth minerals is broadly classified into two categories, such as carbonate mineral (bastnaesite) flotation and phosphate mineral (monazite and xenotime) flotation. The majority of monazite and xenotime minerals are found in placer deposits, and around 60% of them are liberated at finer than 10 μm particle size (Chan 1992 ).

A rougher flotation experiment produced a rare earth oxide grade and recovery of 41% and 78%, respectively with a 91.5% rejection of calcite. This is a significant improvement from the fatty acid rougher flotation, which produced approximately 30% REO grade, 60% REO recovery, and 70-80% rejection of calcite.
