METHOD FOR PROCESSING RARE EARTH
Under proper conditions, noncerium rare earth oxides, M 2 0 3, are soluble in hydrochloric acid, CeO 2 is only sparingly soluble in the absence of a reducing agent, and MF 3 is insoluble. Any of the known methods for separating out the individual rare earths can then be used to further refine the digested ore.
Rare-earth element Processing ores Britannica
2021-8-24 Rare-earth element Rare-earth element Processing ores: All rare-earth ores contain less than 10 percent REO and must be upgraded to about 60 percent in order to be processed further. They are first ground to a powder and then separated from the other materials in the ore body by various standard processes that include magnetic and/or electrostatic separation and flotation.

A clean way to extract rare earth metals
2016-6-17 Because these elements are so similar to each other, the process of separating them is time consuming, expensive, and dangerous. Processing one ton of rare earths can produce 2,000 tons of toxic waste. Now, researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) may have found a clean alternative.
Rare Earth Extraction an overview ScienceDirect Topics
When a rare-earth extraction-separation process with constant mixed extraction ratio is started, the concentration of each component in each stage gradually changes with the more extractable component moving into the scrub section as organic phase moves, and the less extractable component moving into the extraction section as aqueous phase moves.

1999-10-29 The 17 rare earth elements, or lanthanides, consist of elements 21 (scandium), 39 (yttrium), and 57 (lanthanum) to 71 (lutetium). The rare earths were so named because of their low concentration in minerals which were scarce. However, some of the elements are not as rare as once thought. Today, the rare earths are important for their use in
