Abstract
In 2020, the European Union officially designated strontium as a Critical Raw Material (CRM) due to its diverse applications and limited global producers, with Spain as one of the primary producers and the only one in the EU. This comprehensive review discusses strontium market dynamics, global reserves, and technological advancements in mineral processing techniques to extract and concentrate its main bearing minerals, celestine (SrSO4) and strontianite (SrCO3). The review highlights the shift in strontium demand, led until the mid-2000s by applications in cathode-ray tube (CRT) glass, to current uses focused on pyrotechnics, ceramic magnets and drilling fluids.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
