| dc.description.abstract | Rare earth mineral (REM) recovery from tin tailings is a significant chance for sustainable environmental practices and resource optimisation. In order to maximise the recovery of REM from tin tailings, this study investigates the recovery of rare earth minerals (REM) from tin tailings using gravity separation, specifically focusing on an amang sample from Kampar Perak, Malaysia. The research utilizes a Mozley table to separate monazite and optimizes the table's parameters using design of experiment (DOE) software. The amang sample is characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Particle Size Analysis (PSA), and optical microscopy. The optimization of the Mozley table parameters results in values for water irrigation, deck angle, and time taken of 3.54, 1.08, and 1.70 respectively, yielding percentages of ThO2 (0.49%), CeO2 (2.65%), and La2O3 (0.67%). These results, however, require future validation. The study contributes to the understanding of REM recovery from tin tailings and lays the groundwork for further research and industrial application. | |
