    Does eudialyte separation release HF into the air as well as the waterways? Sounds a nightmare!
    Putting in air scrubbers sounds expensive.
    I cant see any existing plants going to that effort. Can you? Tell me one that will perhaps.
    Financially foolish move to separate eudialyte in my opinion.

    The so-called “fuming” process with HCl transforms eudialyte into a mixture of metal salts and a siliceous secondary precipitate.20It is assumed that exhaust gas scrubbing is only installed in modern Chinese large-scale plants. However, because there are also medium-sized and small plants in China with minimal to no exhaust gas scrubbing, a significant release of HF because of acid roasting and other emissions can be expected. The capacities of the different plant types are not exactly known, because no plant-specific Chinese data are publicly available. It is assumed that exhaust gas scrubbing is installed in all western plants but only in modern Chinese large-sized plants.
