Abstract
Rare earth and cobalt values are separated and recovered from residue materials containing them, e.g., the waste residue from the production of samarium/cobalt magnets, by (a) dissolving such residues with nitric acid, (b) liquid/liquid extracting the resulting aqueous nitric phase with an organic phase including at least one water-insoluble neutral organophosphoric extractant, whereby the rare earth values are transferred into the organic phase, and (c) recovering the rare earth values from the organic phase.
