Microfluidic solvent extraction of rare earth elements from a mixed oxide concentrate leach solution using Cyanex® 572

Solvent extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) involves hundreds of individual extraction and phase separation cycles, fine adjustment of solution conditions, and individual stage and overall process times that are long. Therefore, we investigated microfluidic solvent extraction (microSX) of REEs...
