An investigation into six coal fly ashes from the United Kingdom and Poland to evaluate rare earth element content

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Rare earth elements have been identified by the European Commission as a critical raw material. Six European coal fly ashes have been investigated for their rare earth element content. A coal fly ash from the UK has levels of rare earth element that are approaching that which might be commercially viable to exploit. After classification there was found to be a slight enrichment in the smaller non-magnetic inorganic content of the coal fly ash.
