Abstract
The extraction and separation of rare earth elements (REEs) from iron ores are critical for advancing the fields of materials science, electronics, and renewable energy technologies. In this paper, we explore the use of liquid chromatography (LC) for the separation of REEs from complex iron ore matrices. The chromatographic techniques are evaluated in terms of their ability to selectively separate rare earth elements from iron ore components, with a focus on optimizing conditions such as solvent systems, column types, and flow rates. The results demonstrate the feasibility of LC for the selective isolation of REEs, offering insights into the potential applications of this technique in resource recovery and waste treatment.
