Thermodynamics of Rare Earth Elements and Critical Materials
Rare Earth Elements co-exist in various mineral sources and possess similar geo-chemical properties, making the separation of individual elements extremely difficult. My work focuses on modeling the thermodynamic behavior of these elements as it relates to their separation using the solvent extraction process.
