source：ChemEngOnlineSmall-scale pilot testing has begun for a process that extracts nickel, manganese, cobalt and copper from nodules collected from the surface of the Pacific Ocean seafloor. Obtaining the metals from the seabed nodules has advantages over mining land-based ores because the nodules contain far less toxic heavy metals and can be processed with zero tailings, according to process developer DeepGreen Metals Inc. (Vancouver, B.C.; www.deep.green).The nodules are formed on the seafloor four to six km deep in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a region of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii ...

While producers firmed up offers in anticipations of tight supplies on Myanmar’s rare earth ore export suspension, downstream metal and magnetic material producers were on the sidelines, resulting in lower traded prices than quotes by major producers. SMM assessed prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide, both medi...

source：Market Research Sheets-rbium oxide is a water insoluble oxide of transition metal erbium. The metal is part of rare earth metal group. It is highly hygroscopic and can absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. Erbium is produced from xenotime and euxenite minerals. Erbium oxide posse’s excellent electrical, photoluminescence and optical properties, hence it has varied applications. The applications of erbium oxide include electronics, optics, bio-imaging, dermatology, dentistry and semiconductors.Growing demand for erbium oxide from the display panel industry is expected to drive the ...
