Uranium recovery from phosphate rocks/minerals
Turgis et al. (2014) investigated the uranium recovery with an amino-phosphonate substituent from phosphoric acid, which is obtained using sulfuric acid from phosphate rocks [66]. This research was focused in the preparation and testing of compounds for the selective extraction of U(VI) from phosphoric acid solutions.

Extraction of lithium as lithium phosphate from bauxite mine …
Phosphate can be used to facilitate the concentration and precipitation of lithium from low-concentration solutions. In this study, a novel process has been developed to extract lithium as lithium phosphate from bauxite mine tailings, which includes: 1) leaching with mixed acid (H 3 PO 4 + H 2 SO 4), 2) leachate neutralization, and 3) Li 3 PO 4 preparation.
