Rare-earth element - Processing ores Britannica
The individual rare-earth R 3+ complexes form rectangular bands with a minimum overlap of adjacent bands. The given rare-earth solution is collected, and the R 3+ ion is precipitated out of solution using oxalic acid. The rare-earth oxalate is converted to the oxide by heating it in air at 800–1,000 °C (1,472–1,832 °F). Solvent extraction

01/09/2014 The method of physical beneficiation of rare earth bearing minerals depends on the mineralogy of the deposit. In most cases, the deposits are presented as hard rock, requiring the ore to be initially comminuted to liberate the valuable mineral grains. Conventional physical separation methods such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation and froth flotation are ...

Most production of rare earth elements is from the minerals monazite and bastnasite. Processing of these ores is by sulfuric and hydrochloric acid digestion. The compounds recovered from these processes must be processed further to produce and recover rare earth metal compounds. Processes include fractional crystallization and precipitation, solvent extraction, ion exchange, and reduction ...
