Abstract
A method for selectively recovering a rare earth element (REE) from an alloy includes applying a potential of from −3.5 V to 0 V to an electrochemical cell comprising a anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, wherein (i) the anode comprises an alloy comprising a REE, (ii) the cathode comprises a noble metal, and (iii) the electrolyte comprises an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt and a nonaqueous solvent. Under the applied potential, at least some of the REE is oxidatively dissolved from the anode and is electrodeposited onto the cathode to form an REE deposit.
