详细说明

TEfficient extraction and recycling methods are an important issue for rare earth elements (REE). The significant differences in their magnetic moments make magnetic separation a promising step. Although the magnetic field gradient manipulation of ions seemed to be impossible, the robust enrichment of some paramagnetic RE ions was found in the vicinity of the magnet. The studies in recent years resolved the physical paradox of why, despite the Brownian motion of the ions, there is a reproducible enrichment of RE ions in magnetic field gradients. The existence of trigger process and energy barrier was proved. However, these studies usually used only high paramagnetic ions, e.g., Dy(III) or Ho(III). This work verifies the theory of the possible magnetic separation for 8 different rare earth ions, respectively. For this purpose, concentration distribution in rare earth chloride solutions were measured using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The magnetic field was assured by a Halbach configuration to enhance the effect. The results show the classification of RE solutions into 2 classes: Class I contains the REs with low magnetic moment, whereas Class II includes the REs of high magnetic moment. only the latter group shows the enrichment of ions in the vicinity of the magnet which encourages the implementation of magnetic separation into existing hydrometallurgical technology to enhance the selectivity of REE.
