Due to the high energy costs and chemical reagent consumption associated with rare earth extraction in conventional systems, the Magsolex project aims to find a new approach to this critical problem by using a magnetic field assisted solvent extraction method.
An interferometer is used to characterize and study the reactions underlying the processes for a single rare earth element, with the...
