Tóm tắt

This manuscript describes the development of an efficient process for the recovery of rare earth elements from materials mixtures such as in motors with a recovery rate of >80%. Selective dissolution enables efficient separation of steel and copper and selective precipitation of RE salts is the key for obtaining pure RE products.
