Abstract

Rare Earth is used in numerous high-tech applications. REEs are usually found as a deposit of many lanthanides. Due to ‘Lanthanide Contractions’, the size differences among the Lanthanides are very small. The atoms have identical physicochemical properties.  The current imperfect process of separating the REEs takes a huge toll on the environment. Bicine has several advantages over traditional ligands. It may be a greener alternative for REE processing.
