摘要: The demand for rare earth elements (REEs) is growing, while the future supply uncertain. Their unique electronic characteristics make them irreplaceable, and commercial value of pure fractions high. A model-based simulation study presented that compares batch chromatography with twin-column MCSGP (multicolumn countercurrent solvent gradient purification) process ion-exchange four-component system neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium. last three components are considered products individual purity requirements 99%. has been shown to be a good alternative regarding modifier consumption productivity since it enables internal recycling achieve high purities. new cut strategy applied where subfractions taken from each outlet. Two multiobjective optimizations yield, productivity, objectives show better than chromatography.
