Abstract
The processes of physicochemical treatment of nepheline concentrates are studied theoretically and experimentally, and the optimal conditions are determined for the integrated fluoride–ammonium recovery of different useful components. The enabling innovative technology is proposed for the production of amorphous silica, alumina, red iron oxide, calcium fluoride and other marketable products.
