Abstract
Neodymium is the most used of rare earth elements. Its demand is rapidly increasing as the raw material for Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. In the present study, the preparation of neodymium metal by molten salt electrowinning was investigated, using the support salt of LiF:NdF₃:BaF₂ = 7.5:67.4:25.1 (in wt%, FLiNdBa). It focused.....

Abstract
In this study, neodymium (Nd) nuclides in LiCl-KCl eutectic salts were captured and solidified using a synthetic inorganic composite (Li₂O-SiO₂-Al₂O₃-B₂O₃), a process that allows the selective capture of Nd and fabrication of a composite with Nd captured from waste, without additional additives or mixing. The Nd nuclides in the LiCl-KCl..... More
