“…crystals were easily separated by filtration and analysed by powder XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), the result of which is given in Figure 4. According to the XRD data, the precipitated crystals were found to be in the form of (NH4)3ScF6 [18]. At the end, fine (NH4)3ScF6 crystals can be obtained, and since this compound is a water soluble form of scandium, it may be marketed to the industry in this form for various applications.…”

“…There is information about the crystallization of scandium fluoride phases in literature. Scandium can be precipitated from an ammonium fluoride solution as ScF 3 ·(0-0.25)H 2 O, NH 4 ScF 4 , (NH 4 ) 3 ScF 6 , (NH 4 ) 5 Sc 3 F 14 , NH 4 Sc 3 F 10 or (NH 4 ) 2 Sc 3 F 11 , depending on the composition of the solution and temperature [18][19][20]. Scandium could also be precipitated as sodium or potassium fluoride and ammonium fluoride salts [19].…”

In this study, the crystallization of scandium from ammonium fluoride strip liquor, obtained by solvent extraction, was investigated using an anti-solvent crystallization technique. Acetone, ethanol, methanol and isopropanol were added individually to the strip liquor as the anti-solvent and scandium was precipitated and obtained in the form of (NH 4 ) 3 ScF 6 crystals. The results show that scandium can be effectively crystallized from the strip liquor to obtain an intermediate, marketable scandium product. Yields greater than 98% were obtained using an anti-solvent to strip liquor volumetric ratio of 0.8. Acetone had the least performance at lower anti-solvent to strip liquor volumetric ratios, possibly due to its limited H bonding capability with water molecules when compared to alcohols.

“…In addition, the solubilities of ScF 3 and (NH 4 ) 3 ScF 6 have been determined in HF-dosed solutions [30]. Various crystalline phases which include ScF 3 , NH 4 ScF 4 , (NH 4 ) 5 Sc 3 F 14 , NH 4 Sc 3 F 10 , (NH 4 ) 2 Sc 3 F 11 , and the α-and β-polymorphs of (NH 4 ) 3 ScF 6 have been reported for the ScF 3 -NH 4 F system [26,31]. β-(NH 4 ) 3 ScF 6 was identified as the most stable phase in the ScF 3 -NH 4 F system at high fluoride concentrations at temperatures below 90 °C [31,32].…”

This phase was observed to decompose thermally at temperature ranges of 260-290 °C and 340-350 °C to NH 4 ScF 4 and ScF 3 , respectively [23,32].…”

Bauxite residues, i.e., red mud, can be processed to recover various valuable end products, while reducing the environmental impact of the waste. Scandium is one of the valuable elements in bauxite residues. It is possible to extract and enrich scandium from red mud by leaching and solvent extraction. Scandium can then be recovered from the pregnant strip liquor by crystallization. Different crystallization techniques can be used to generate the supersaturation required for scandium to crystallize out as a salt. In the present study, the crystallization of an ammonium scandium fluoride phase by cooling and antisolvent crystallization techniques is presented. Cooling crystallization gave a low yield of ammonium scandium hexafluoride, (NH 4) 3 ScF 6 , below 50% at the lowest temperature of 1 °C investigated. Antisolvent crystallization using ethanol gave almost complete recovery with precipitation efficiency greater than 98% for an ethanol-to-strip liquor volumetric ratio of 0.8. Solubility data of (NH 4) 3 ScF 6 under different temperatures and in different ethanol-strip liquor mixtures is herein presented. The product obtained by antisolvent crystallization had very minute crystals (< 2 µm) due to the high supersaturation generated upon adding ethanol to the strip liquor, while it was easier to obtain larger crystals by cooling crystallization. Fe and Ti impurities were detected in the solid product, and an insight into the mechanism of impurity uptake is discussed.
