The work is aimed at the study of microwave energy application in recovery strategic metals from mineral raw materials. Microwave pre-treatment will realise to meet an effective liberation of utility components. An attention will be paid to selective heating of utility minerals. Selectivity of heating and degree of mineral structure failure will analyse by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The metals extraction will be performed by extraction techniques before and after microwave pre-treatment, Microwave-assisted metals extraction enabling more efficient metals leaching will be also realised.
