Abstract

Absorbabilities of several rare earths - La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Tb and Yb - in slightly acidified lithium nitrate solutions have been investigated with a strong base anion-exchange resin. Adsorbabilities increase with increasing lithium nitrate concentration, and the lighter rare earths are more strongly adsorbed than the heavier. Sufficient differences in adsorbabilities were found to permit separation of the lighter rare earths with relatively short columns.
