Beneficiation and extraction of beryllium Ores to obtain the end BERYLLIUM products IN NUCLEAR GRADE Dr. Mohamed Shabaan Atrees Samida  Salim   Abstract:  The present work aims to perform beryl upgrading studies because the overall content of Be in the dumps does not satisfy the requirement for the plant. The ore has to be pre-concentrated to raise the beryl content to a suitable concentration. Also, this project focuses on the separation of Beryllium from beryl using precipitation, complexation, and ion-exchange separation technique and comparing the obtained results with that obtained previously by solvent extraction technique as a part of the project aimed to produce purified Beryllium oxide.
