In the up-stream Maboumine process the non-magnetic fraction of the ore is first leached with concentrated H 2 SO 4 in order to eliminate the goethite and crandalite minerals. The leaching residue, which contains the valuable elements, is mixed with H 2 SO 4 and roasted at 250–300 °C which triggers the decomposition of the pyrochlore …
