Abstract
The present disclosure provides system and method embodiments for extracting and separating rare earth elements (REEs) from various starting materials and sources. The system and method embodiments disclosed herein facilitate efficient REE extraction, separation, and/or isolation, even when the REEs are present in a starting material at a relatively low level compared to undesirable metals co-present in the starting material. In at least some examples, the disclosed system and method embodiments may be used to recover one or more REEs from coal derived acid mine drainage.
