| Description | Sc content in investigated minerals of Cínovec-South deposit shows significant variation. Among the investigated minerals, Li-micas have relatively low Sc content, but they could be interesting Scbearing minerals due to their large amounts at the deposit. Noticeably high Sc content was detected in zircon, wolframite, columbite and especially in later stage W-mineral – ixiolite. Production of Sc from the above-mentioned minerals is theoretical only, as some problematic ore properties (e.g., very small grain size of zircon and columbite, problems with mineral separation and metallurgy) can become limiting aspects. |
