Abstract
The Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department at Montana Tech is investigating a new method of extracting and refining rare earth elements (REEs) from mineral ores and concentrates. The relative stabilities of various REE compounds and differences in vapor pressures are exploited to selectively separate rare earth chlorides, with dysprosium and europium chlorides used as proof-of-concept experimental materials.
