Laboratory and pilot plant investigations on this ore have shown that a cyclic H 2 SO 4 leach followed by fractional crystallization will produce a RB-free Cs alum, which can be converted to CsCl by thermal decomposition and ion exchange. On the basis of these findings it is concluded that the process is applicable to the tonnage production of ...
In the alkaline recovery process, pollucite is roasted with either a calcium carbonate–calcium chloride mix at 800–900 °C or a sodium carbonate–sodium chloride mix at 600–800 °C followed by a water leach of the roasted ore, to give a cesium chloride solution (Davis and Jones, 1966).

The pollucite is processed on site to produce cesium formate fluid as a heavy mud for offshore oil drilling in the North Sea.
Strontium, a highly reactive alkaline earth metal, is very stable in natural occurrence minerals; however, the mobility of its isotope 90 Sr produced from the nuclear fallout is one of the deadly fission products. Celestite, SrSO 4, is the most important primary source of it following the exploitation via either the black ash or direct leach process. . …

The acid digestion (leaching) method takes advantage of the fact that lepidolite/pollucite is easily eroded by acid. In this process, lithium, cesium and rubidium …
This paper introduces a new method for efficiently extracting Rb and K from complex rubidium ore. It mainly consists of two steps: 1) thermal activating of rubidium ore and water quenching, and 2) leaching with sulfuric acid. After thermal activating and water quenching, the water quenched slag was in a highly active state. Efficient extraction of …

That's been Peterson's challenge for over a decade. And as of today, with supporting research from PNNL, staff at Hanford have removed cesium from more than 697,000 gallons of tank waste—a significant milestone in cleanup progress at Hanford. Reid Peterson conducts research in the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory at Pacific …
Only a few thousand kilograms of cesium chemicals are thought to be consumed in the United States every year. The United States was import reliant for its cesium needs. In 2019, one company offered 1-gram ampoules of 99.8% (metal basis) cesium for $63.00, a slight increase from $61.80 in 2018, and 99.98% (metal basis) cesium for $81.10, a ...
