This collection presents papers from a symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare
extraction processing techniques used in metal production. Topics include the extraction and
processing of elements like antimony arsenic gold indium palladium platinum rare earth
metals including yttrium and neodymium titanium tungsten and vanadium. Rare processing
techniques are covered including direct extraction processes for rare-earth recovery
biosorption of precious metals fluorination behavior of uranium and zirconium mixture of fuel
debris treatment and recovery of valuable components of commodity metals such as zinc nickel
and metals from slag.
