Use of Plackett–Burman Statistical Design to Study Factors Acting on the Nitric Acid Leaching of Rare Earth Elements from Moroccan Phosphogypsum by Fatima Asafar, Marouane Amine, Abdelkader Outzourhit, Latifa Bilali, Mehdi Nadifiyine

“…Given that the leaching recovery of rare earth elements is limited by the quantity of dissolved phosphogypsum, we examined two simultaneous responses, namely, the leaching efficiency of rare earth elements YREEs and the leaching efficiency of calcium YCa (dissolution rate of phosphogypsum). The predicted values of the two fitted models were in good agreement with the experimental values by a coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 98.6% and 96.50%, respectively. …”
