동위원소희석법에 의한 열이온화 질량분석법 (ID-TIMS)을 이용하여 지하수내 희토류원소의 함량을 측정하였다. 희토류원소의 분리에는 철공침법과 양이온교환수지에 의한 컬름분리법을 이용하였다. 경희토류(La-Eu)와 Gd, Dy, Er의 경우 수-수십 ppt의 수준에서 1%이내의 오차범위를 측정되어졌으며, 중희토류 중 Yb와 Lu은 정확도가 다소 떨어진 10% 전후에서 측정되었다. 지하수내 함량을 운석으로 규격화한 결과, 경희토류가 부화되었고 중희토류는 결핍되었으며 Eu의 이상은 거의 존재하지 않는다. 특히 경희토류에서는 M-type의 테트라드효과, 중희토류에서는 W-type의 테트라드효과가 관찰되었다. 이는 희토류원소의 수화수와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, the separation of rare earths and aluminium from the dried powder of waste cerium polishing slurry was investigated. Since cerium oxide, 40％ of rare earths, is the most stable state in rare earth, the dissolution of cerium oxide in acid solution is not easy. Therefore the dissolution process of cerium oxide by sulfation was examined in order to increase the recovery of rare earth. The rare earths could be separated from aluminum by double salt precipitation using sodium sulfate.

The behavior on the solvent extraction of heavy rare earths (HRE) by using PC88A was confirmed to demonstrate the possibility of recovery on the HRE from industrial wastewater, which consist of low concentration rare earth. We verified the extraction behavior of the HRE through a change of equilibrium pH, extractant concentration and A/O ratio, and also confirmed the stripping behavior depending on the type of mineral acids. At equilibrium pH 1.0, extraction of rare earth (RE) was completed from 95% to 100%. In all extraction conditions, it tend to be extracted in order of high atomic number. When A/O ratio was 10/1, Yb and Tm were concentrated at the maximum and increased 6-fold and 3-fold compared to initial concentration, respectively. To confirm the stripping behavior of the RE, three mineral acids were applied to the organic phase and consequently rate of stripping was increased in order of $HNO_3$, $H_2SO_4$ and HCl.

희토류원소 분포도를 이용하여 하천본류의 화학조성에 미치는 각 지류 및 주변 암석들의 영향을 조사하기 위해 한강본류, 남한강, 북한강의 상류 및 하류에서 하천수를 계절별로 채취하여 분석하였다. 한강수내 희토류원소 자료를 PAAS (Post Archean Australian Shale)로 규격화한 분포도 특성은 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, 한강의 모든 물시료는 Eu의 정(+)의 이상과 Ce의 부(-)의 이상을 갖고 있다. 둘째 절대농도에 있어서 하기에 채취된 모든 한강 시료는 다른 절기의 시료들보다. 함량이 높다. 셋째로 전반적으로 중희토류(HREE)가 경희토류(LREE)보다. 부화되어 있다. Eu의 이상을 가지고 비교해 볼 때, 한강 본류는 남한강쪽보다는 북한강쪽의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 하천의 본류에 보다. 많은 영향을 주는 지류를 판단함에 있어서 희토류원소의 분포도자 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 전기자동차 구동전동기는 일반적으로 희토류 영구자석을 사용한 동기전동기를 사용하고 있다. 하지만 희토류는 수급불안정성이 높아 자동차 업계는 희토류 전동기를 대체할 수 있는 방안을 찾고 있으며 그 방안 중 하나가 비희토류 자속집중형 전동기이다. 비희토류 영구자석의 수를 늘려서 희토류 전동기와 동일한 크기에 유사한 출력을 만족하게 설계했다. 마지막으로 전기자동차 구동용 비희토류 자속집중형 전동기의 특성 및 크기를 희토류 전동기와 비교하고 두 전동기를 탑재한 차량을 Advisor(Advanced Vehicle Simulator)를 사용해 주행사이클에 대한 차량효율을 비교할 것이다.

Methods to separate 14 rare earth elements (REEs) and yttrium by the $AG^{(R)}$ 50W-X8 cation exchange resin, and to determine REEs by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrophotometry (ICP-AES) were described. Ion exchange capacities of REEs on the resin were so high that the REEs were quantitatively ion exchanged under the flow rate of 0.3~1.0 mL/min at pH 1~6. The breakthrough capacity curve of the REEs showed that ion exchange capacities of light REEs (Cerium group) were greater than that of the heavy REEs (Yttrium group). When $200{\mu}g$ of each REEs was ion exchanged on 100 mg of resin, most of the heavy REEs were quantitatively desorbed with 10 mL of 2.0 M of $HNO_3$, while most of the light REEs with 30 mL. The method was applied to the monazite sample. The REEs could be separated from matrix, since ion exchange capacities of matrix ions of Ca, Ti, Mg, Mn were much lower than that of the REEs. However the relative standard deviations of the analytical results by the present method were not improved, as high as 1~5%.

Permanent magnet is one of the most important parts in modern industry and the rare earth elements play an essential role for operation of permanent magnet. As is well known, the rare earth elements are mostly produced in China and the world is now facing serious problems owing to supply and demand imbalances. Many attempts have been performed to replace these rare-earth based permanent magnets by rare-earth free magnets, but they have not been successful so far. Regarding this issue, we discuss about an exchange spring magnet as a potential rare earth free permanent magnet structure.

An ion-association chromatography was applied for the separation and determination of individual rare earth elements (REE) contained in mineral monazite. Prior to the determination, the group separation of REE was achieved by a cation exchange column of Dowex 5OW-X8 resin. The quantitative recovery of REE by the resin column, free from coexisting elements in monazite, was confirmed with radioactive tracers as well as with ICP-MS. Individual REE at ppm level was separated on reversed-phase column ($\mu$-Bondapak $C_{18}$) using gradient elution from 0.05 to 0.3 M $\alpha$-hydroxyisobutyric acid at pH 4.6. The individual REE was detected at 546 nm following post-column reaction with PAR (4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol monosodium salt).

Rare earth metals have been made from rare earth compounds which were prepared from rare earth ore concentrates through successive processes such as leaching(i.e. extraction of rare earth elements to liquid media), separation, purification, precipitation. Here, process for treating monazite and bastnasite ore concentrates were briefly reviewed, and metallothermic reduction and fused salt electrolysis methods were introduced as the extraction technologies for rare earth metals.
