Benefits of FUNDABAC®
FUNDABAC® filters are used to remove the
mineral gangue solids from the REE-rich liquor
created in the cracking step. Advantages of the
FUNDABAC® are the availability of corrosion-
resistant materials for filter vessel and internals,
as well as robust filter media with fine pore sizes.
In addition, the ability to wash the filter cake
increases the yield of REEs. Depending on cake
permeability, spray and/or displacement washing
can be used. Last but not least, the
FUNDABAC® enables completely enclosed, fully
automated operation in aggressive fluids at
elevated temperatures and has significant safety benefits for operators.
CONTIBAC® thickeners are employed in isolating cerium oxide after HCl leaching.
Again, cake washing is used to remove as much liquor as possible, since it contains
LREEs. Recovering product and cake washing with a single processing unit streamlines
the process and significantly reduces equipment cost.
Modern REE processing facilities recycle spent brines and salts. FUNDABAC® and
CONTIBAC® filters are used to clarify the raw brine and polish the feed to the
electrolyzers.
