Abstract

An improved method for separating individual and/or groups of rare earth elements from rare earth bearing leach solutions to produce high purity materials for further refinement. According to a first preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a method comprising the steps of: neutralizing a leach solution; introducing ozone into the solution while controlling pH and precipitating cerium oxide; removing the precipitated cerium oxide from the solution; adjusting the pH of the solution in the presence of ozone to precipitate medium/heavy rare earths; removing the precipitated rare earth concentrate from the solution; treating the remaining solution with a precipitating agent to produce a high purity lanthanum precipitate; and removing the solids from the solution.
