Rare earth metals — those 17 chemically similar elements at the bottom of the periodic table — are in almost every piece of technology we use from cell phones to wind turbines to electric cars. Because these elements are so similar to each other, the process of separating them is time consuming, expensive, and dangerous.

The discovery of new ligands for improving rare-earth separations by solvent extraction, the most practical rare-earth separation process, is still largely based on trial ...
Read MoreAfter first extraction step, the rare earth metals were extracted from the raffinate using solvating extractant Cyanex 923 and Aliquat 336 nitrate. The advantage of selecting Aliquat 336 nitrate over Cyphos 101 was the selectivity of the former towards rare earth metals and also less number of Cyanex 923 can accommodate around it.
