Rare earth elements (REEs) possess unique optical and magnetic properties that are critical for next-generation electronics and emerging technologies. In contrast with trace metals such as copper and lead, REEs occur as dispersed mixtures in the earth's crust that require separation of individual elements.
rare-earth element - rare-earth element - Processing ores: All rare-earth ores contain less than 10 percent REO and must be upgraded to about 60 percent in order to be processed further. They are first ground to a powder and then separated from the other materials in the ore body by various standard processes that include magnetic and/or electrostatic separation and flotation.
