From light to heavy: addressing gaps in rare earth element extraction at the Lynas advanced materials plant

The Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan, Malaysia, exemplifies sustainable practices in rare earth element (REE) separation processes through its efficient solvent extraction techniques using 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono2-ethylhexyl ester (HEH/EHP or P507) and di-2ethylhexyl-phospo...
