What are Rare Earth Elements?
Through a process of crushing, milling, conditioning and flotation, the rare earth elements in the ore are separated from the other elements, forming a rare earth concentrate. The concentrate undergoes a complex chemical process to purify, recover, separate and precipitate the individual rare earth elements.

Jan 30, 2014· 'China has rare earth'. It has been a process that has played out over the last 25 years or so. In 1992, the thenleader of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping, said: "The Middle East has oil and China has rare earth." The country has since lived up to that promise.
Rare Earth Element Recycling: Hype or Hope for the Metals ...
Extracting rare earth material from complex electronics such as cell phones is an arduous process with a small payout. Many devices contain only tiny quantities of valuable REEs, often less than one gram, and are designed in such a way that the REEs are difficult to separate from other components.
Chemical Production, Oil Refining and Manufacturing
FCC is the process whereby crude oils are converted into gasoline and other products. The use of rare earthcontaining catalysts facilitates FCC, resulting in higher yields and purer end products than could otherwise be achieved. Around 11 percent of REEs are used in the creation of these catalysts.
From coal, a new source of rare earths
Exploiting acid mine drainage. Honaker and colleagues are also trying to extract rare earths from acidic water, called acid mine drainage, which flows from coal mines containing high levels of pyrite, or iron sulfide. When pyrite is exposed to oxygen, it reacts to form sulfuric acid and ferrous (Fe 2+) iron.
