Abstract:
In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the transformation of economic structures, rubidium and cesium have gradually become indispensable rare metal resources as important materials for high-tech industries. However, the relationship between supply and demand of resources is unbalanced, industrial demand is much higher than production, and the rubidium and cesium resources in hard rock minerals such as traditional pegmatite minerals are no longer enough to support global scientific and technological upgrading. There is therefore an urgent need to expand sources of resource extraction and recovery to meet market demand. This paper summarizes the current feasible technologies for extracting rubidium and cesium from pegmatite minerals, silicate minerals, salt lake brines and other potential resources.
