1. Use and Sourcing of Rare Earths Elements
/pr9071202)
Rare earth elements (REEs) as defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied

Chemistry (IUPAC) include metals characterized by similar properties, namely scandium (Sc),
Endorse
yttrium (Y) and all the lanthanides. The latter correspond to the chemical elements listed in
the periodic table of Mendeleev that have an atomic number ranging from 57 for lanthanum
(La)

to 71 for lutetium (Lu) [1]. REEs are often subdivided into “light rare earths elements”
Comment

(LREEs) and “heavy rare earths elements” (HREEs) according to their atomic numbers.
Yttrium is oftentimes associated with HREEs due to chemical similarities, including ionic radii.
In some cases, the elements from samarium to terbium are considered as the “middle rare
earth elements” (MREEs) [2].
With the increasing uses of these elements, global demand is growing and their access
is becoming crucial, leading to diversified sources of supply (Figure 1).

REEs are commonly mined as co-products or as by-products of other materials. Primary
sources of REEs include hard rock deposits of bastnaesite as well as alluvial deposits of
monazite and xenotime [14]. In addition to these ores, which contain the highest
concentrations of REEs, other mineral resources can be considered, such as phosphate or
apatites, which are admittedly poorer in REEs, but whose exploitation and processing in the
future may be cost-effective [15,16].
Due to the critical need for these materials, alternative sources need to be investigated,
particularly in the context of the circular economy [17,18]. Valorisation of secondary or
unconventional sources becomes more and more relevant, both from economic and
environmental perspectives [19].
REE recovery from industrial landfilled stocks containing lower REE concentrations
requires larger volumes. Among industrial wastes, bauxite residue (red mud) generated
during the production of alumina from bauxite (the Bayer process) represents a promising
source for REEs [20,21]. It is mainly composed of the metallic oxides aluminium, iron and
titanium, as well as up to 1000 ppm of REEs [22,23].

acid or a mixture of them (aqua regia). The so-called “pregnant leach solutions”
are then subjected to an extraction/separation step using solvent extraction, ion exchange

and/or precipitation [37].
Comment
Among such separation techniques, solvent extraction or liquid–liquid extraction is the
most commonly used process for the recovery of REEs from the different sources (primary
and secondary mining, waste streams, end-of-life materials and so on). The solvent
extraction process consists in bringing the aqueous phase constituted by the pregnant leach
solution into contact with an organic phase comprising one or more extractants, in order to
achieve an efficient and selective extraction of REEs. Although widely applied on an industrial
scale, liquid–liquid extraction suffers from certain limitations, such as the use of large
amounts of toxic solvents and/or flammable solvents, which are a potential threat to human
health and the environment [38]. For example, aliphatic diluents, such as isooctane, are
classified as highly flammable liquids and vapours with safety concerns (they may be fatal if
they are swallowed and enter the airways, very toxic to aquatic life, etc.), while n-dodecane is
classified as a combustible liquid and can be used as an alternative; however, it also presents
health risks. Another major issue associated with the use of organic solvents in
hydrometallurgy is their loss by evaporation. Besides the economic aspect, this leads to
ecological concerns. Elimination or replacement of hazardous solvents in terms of toxicity and
flammability, which has a clear impact on worker safety and environmental issues, is
therefore one of the main challenges for metallurgical processes.

classification has been proposed by Abbott et al. based on their
constituents [48,49].
Types I to III DESs can be defined by the general formula Cat+X−·Y−, where:

- Cat+ is usually a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium salt;


- X is the anionic moiety (generally a halide anion);
- Y is a metal chloride for type I, a metal chloride hydrate for type II and a hydrogen bond
donor for type III.

Type IV DESs involve a metal chloride hydrate and hydrogen bond donor.
Most common DESs imply a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and an ionic hydrogen bond
acceptor (HBA), leading to type III DESs as defined by Abbott et al. [48]. DESs are mainly
hydrophilic mixtures as they are based on at least one ionic species and strong hydrogen
bonding interactions. Most popular DESs are based on quaternary ammonium salts and
choline chloride [63] for their HBA part, and on urea, carboxylic acids, alcohols and glycols for
their HBD. The most common structures of the HBA and HBD are illustrated in Figure 3. As
for the ILs, judicious choices for each component allow the control of parameters such as
density, viscosity, acidity or basicity, hydrophobicity, polarity, volatility and the extractability

strongly increasing [65,66,67]. It is assumed that the hydrophobic character depends on the
hydrophobicity of the components forming the DES. HDESs are mainly type III, involving
bulky quaternary ammonium or phosphonium halide ILs as HBAs and hydrophobic carboxylic
acids as HBDs. This trend for hydrophobic eutectic mixtures was recently investigated for
mixtures solely composed of non-ionic species [68,69]. A fifth class of DES has therefore
been proposed to complete the Abbott classification so that it includes such fully organic
hydrophobic eutectic solvents involving strong interaction between a hydrogen bond donor
and a hydrogen bond acceptor [70]. These type V non-ionic DESs represent a relatively new
class of eutectics which have strong potential for the recovery of REEs through solvent
extraction.

3. Use of ILs and DESs for the Recovery of REEs

3.1. Leaching Processes


Conventional leaching processes are based on the use of strong mineral acids
(sulphuric, nitric or hydrochloric) as well as alkali media (such as ammonia or sodium
hydroxide), despite their poor selectivity and adverse effects for the environment and health.

DES also have excellent dissolution properties due to their capacity to accept/donate
protons or electrons to form hydrogen bonds [49,59]. The leaching behaviour of bastnaesite-
type deposits, which are the main source of rare earths, was investigated using choline–
chloride-based deep-eutectic solvents [81]. For this purpose, single-salt and multicomponent
mineral mixtures of REEs (Y, La, Ce, Nd and Sm) in their carbonate form were studied.
Dissolution experiments have shown that the DESs based on [choline chloride
(ChCl):malonic acid (MA)] and [choline chloride (ChCl):urea + malonic acid mixture (UMA)]
display higher performances in dissolving REEs. Bastnaesite ore was therefore subjected to
a dissolution step using [ChCl:UMA], highlighting a potential DES system for selective
dissolution of heavy REEs in comparison to light REEs and competitive elements resulting
from the gangue minerals, such as Ca, Mg and Fe.
Dissolution of REOs has been investigated using a series of Brønsted acidic DESs
based on polyols and organic acids [82]. Among the DESs studied, the [ethylene glycol
(EG):maleic acid (Maleic) (4:1)] system was highlighted as the optimal solvent due to its
strong acidity and low viscosity. Notable differences in the solubilities of REOs have been
observed, with considerable solubilization ability identified for the LREEs (except for CeO2)

Beyond permanent magnets, other end-of-life products, such as fluorescent lamps, have

phosphor (Sr,Ca)10(PO4)(Cl,F)2:Sb3+, Mn2+ (HALO), which does not contain any REEs [87].
Extraction of REEs from the loaded lixiviant DES phase was also examined and showed that
metal recovery was possible via solvent extraction, thus allowing the recycling of the DES.
The [Hbet] [NTf2] efficiency for the oxide dissolution was valued for lamp phosphor waste with
the selective dissolution of YOX without dissolving the other phosphors, such as the green
phosphor LaPO4:Ce3+, Tb3+ (LAP), the blue phosphor BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM) or
halophosphate phosphor (HALO) [88]. Also, as an alternative to conventional sulphuric acid
leach, the recovery of REEs from waste phosphor can be performed after their leaching in
1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate [C1Him] [HSO4] and by oxalic acid precipitation [89].
Coal and coal combustion by-products have been studied as potential sources of REEs.
The dissolution of coal in ILs has been recently reviewed [90] and the possibility of recovering
REEs has been investigated using an IL and a DES, respectively 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium
chloride [C1C4im] [Cl] and a mixture of choline chloride:urea (molar ratio 1:2) [91].
Due to the low melting points of these ionic solvents, they can be used as undiluted or

As mentioned before, solvent extraction or liquid–liquid extraction is the most commonly

Since the pioneering work of Dai et al. [92] highlighting the potential of ILs for solvent

potential in terms of efficiency in comparison to classical organic solvents [93].

As already mentioned, solvent extraction exploits the different distribution of a solute
Endorse
between two immiscible liquids. In most cases, the pregnant leach solutions, which contain

the REEs to be extracted, are in an aqueous phase that makes contact with the hydrophobic
Comment
ILs, leading to the formation of biphasic systems [94].
Some hydrophobic ILs that are immiscible with nonpolar organic solvents can also be
engaged in triphasic extraction systems and are named water/organic solvents/ILs [95].
Moreover, water-miscible ILs can also form two-phase systems with aqueous solutions in the
presence of kosmotropic ions, which contribute to the stability and structure of water–water
interactions, such as K3PO4, K2CO3 and Na2S2O3 in the aqueous solution. The hydrophilic
ILs can thus be separated from the aqueous phase and be further re-used [96].
Ionic liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-ABSs) are also encountered as systems
for the extraction and separation of different metal species but much more marginally
compared to triblock copolymer-based ABSs [97].
In conventional solvent extraction, as the hydrated metallic cations tend to stay in the
aqueous solution, extractants are usually required in the organic phase to form complexes
with the metal and increase its hydrophobicity. This therefore favours the transfer of the
metallic ions from the aqueous phase to the hydrophobic IL phase.
It has been highlighted that, in some cases, the solvation of extractant–metal complexes
is more thermodynamically favoured in ILs than in conventional organic solvents. [92] This
property is a major advantage of using ILs for metal ion extractions since in many cases they

systems has been implemented within the framework of IL-based extraction for the
recovery of REEs [111,112]. Applications of mixtures of ILs and molecular extractants in metal
solvent extraction technology have been recently reviewed by Wang et al. [113].
3.3.1. Ionic Exchangers
The cationic exchangers may exhibit a function with an acidic character (possessing a
labile proton), such as carboxylic (diglycolamic acid), phosphoric (HDEHP: bis (2-
ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid), phosphonic (PC-88A: 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-
ethylhexyl ester) and phosphinic (Cyanex-272: bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) acids), or they may
function as chelating extractants, such as beta-diketone (HTTA: 2-thenoyltrifluoro acetone,
HBA: benzoylacetone). In these cases, metal ions are complexed by the conjugate bases.
Among these extractants, numerous studies have been dedicated to the use of the beta-
diketone HTTA in imidazolium-based IL ([C1Cnim] [NTf2]) [114,115,116,117,118]. Since the
work of Jensen et al. with HTTA in ILs showing the presence of anionic lanthanide complexes
in [C1C4im] [NTf2] [106], comprehensive investigations of REE extraction have suggested the
unusual extraction mechanisms of such ionic exchangers. Anionic lanthanide complexes are
made possible by the exchange of the ionic liquid anions into the aqueous phase for the
lanthanide complex at high HTTA concentrations, while at lower concentrations, Ln3+ was

[124] or methyltrioctylammonium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([N1888] [NTf2]) [125].
Despite Cyanex-272 and HDEHP being widely used as metal extractants, there are only
a few studies reporting their use in the context of IL-based extraction systems for REE
recovery. Cocalia et al. [104] have studied these extractants and described identical
extraction behaviour and coordination of f-element cations using 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium
bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C1C10im] [NTf2]) and n-dodecane. Other studies have
shown their potential in various ionic liquid diluents, such as [C1Cnim] [NTf2] and [C1Cnim]
[BETI] (n = 4–10) [126], or compared to diglycolamic acid extractant [124,125]. In some cases
the conjugate bases of acidic and chelating extractants have been used to replace the IL
anion in order to develop TSIL (see below).
Stripping from the extraction phase is an important aspect to take into consideration.
REE extraction efficiency often depends on acid feed concentration, which usually allows the
stripping of some REEs by playing with the pH. The stripping can be attributed partly to a lack
of dissociation of the chelating extractant or protonation of the acidic extractant. Indeed, for
acidic extractants, the extraction ability usually decreases for high acidic concentrations in the
feed solution. REEs can therefore be stripped from the ionic phase by strongly acidic

3.3.2. Neutral Extractants

A typical neutral extractant has donor groups (O, S, P, N) without labile hydrogen. The

extractant (a hydrophobic Lewis base) acts through its donor power, giving rise to interactions

of the acceptor–donor type with the neutral metal species of the aqueous phase. The

The most widely used solvating compounds are the neutral organophosphorus

derivatives, including phosphines, phosphine oxides, phosphinates, phosphonates and
phosphates. The extraction of neutral metal complexes by solvation is performed through
their O-donor character [127]. This ability for the extraction and separation of REEs has also
been examined in ILs.
Tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) was engaged with [C1Cnim] [NTf2] (n = 4, 8) for the
extraction of REEs from a nitrate medium, showing the importance of the cation of the IL in
the extraction mechanism. REEs were extracted through the exchange of the metal ion and
the imidazolium cations of the IL. In addition, for the IL-based TOPO extraction systems, an
inversion of selectivity for the REEs was observed in comparison to an organic solvent such
as n-dodecane, which can be explained by the difference in the coordination sphere [128].
Cyanex 923, which is a mixture of four trialkylphosphine oxides, exhibits extraction
properties similar to TOPO. Cyanex 923 has been used in ionic liquid phases for the
extraction of REEs from nitric acid medium using ILs containing a
bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion ([C1C4im] [NTf2], [N1444] [NTf2] and [P66614] [NTf2])
[129], while nitrate ILs, such as trioctylmethylammonium nitrate ([N1888] [NO3]) and
trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium ([P66614] [NO3]), were employed for concentrated chloride
aqueous solutions [130].

Diglycolamides (DGAs), with their tridentate O-donating ligands, have the ability to form
stable complexes with lanthanides and actinides. Therefore, diglycolamide-based systems in
IL have been investigated for the recovery of such metals [139]. It was found that N,N,N′
,N′-tetraoctyl diglycolamide (TODGA) allows the enhancement of the extraction performance
for REEs when it is diluted in [C1C4im] [NTf2] in comparison to an isooctane system.
Significant differences were observed in the extraction mechanisms, since a cation-exchange
mechanism is involved for the TODGA-ILs systems while it is ion pair extraction in isooctane.
Also, a difference in the selectivity was noticed, with a preference for MREEs in the ILs
systems and HREEs in the isooctane system [140]. A kinetics study of metal transfer (Eu3+)
from a nitric solution to a TODGA- [C1C4im] [NTf2] phase showed that it depends on the nitric
acid and TODGA concentrations [141].
The possibility of transferring REEs from a Cl− aqueous phase was investigated using
the systems TODGA- [C1C4im] [NTf2] [135] and TODGA- [N1114] [NTf2], or TODGA-
[C1C4Pyro] [NTf2], by studying the solvation of REEs with electronic absorption spectroscopy
[142]. Murakami et al. [143] studied the possibility of using a TODGA- [P2225] [NTf2] system
to recover REEs from an aqueous phase containing a bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)amide anion
with a similar approach as in their study with TBP- [P2225] [NTf2] [133].

As mentioned above, many studies have demonstrated remarkable favourable changes,

[150]. These extractants can also be used in combination to achieve, under certain
conditions, synergistic systems in which the interactions of the two extractants produce a
better effect than the sum of their individual effects. In some cases, the term “synergism” is
used when the extractants are engaged in a simple combination to improve their efficiency or
selectivity in cooperative ways. Synergistic mixtures of extractants, for which improvements of
extraction efficiency have been demonstrated in organic solvents, have been studied in IL-
based systems.

3.3.4. Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs)
Endorse
As they refer to ILs that incorporate a chelating site, TSILs combine the properties of

ionic liquids with those of conventional extracting compounds [159]. TSILs can therefore act
Comment
both as the organic phase as well as the extracting agent, avoiding the difficulties that can be
encountered through extractant/solvent miscibility. Extraction experiments have thus been
performed using undiluted TSILs or diluted in an IL. The incorporation of functional groups,
which act as complexation sites for the REEs, can be undertaken on the anionic or cationic
parts of the IL.
• TSILs with functionalized anion (Table 5)

TSILs with functionalized anions usually exhibit an anionic chelation site, which has
strong coordinating properties for the REEs. REEs can be coordinated by anions with
complexation abilities, such as thiocyanate [SCN−] or nitrate [NO3−], as demonstrated by
various studies from Binnemans’ research group. These studies are mainly focused on
recycling processes, such as the recovery of REEs from magnets [160,161], batteries [162]
and fluorescent lamp waste [163]. Also, the conventional IL anion can be replaced by an
anionic extractant.
HDEHP is certainly one of the most useful and efficient acidic extractants. However
despite the ability of ILs to solubilize a wide range of solutes, it appears that HDEHP is poorly
soluble in these media [164].

Other phosphorous acidic extractants have been considered as anionic species for the
development of TSILs, such as 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester, which
is named P507 or PC-88A. As an example, the extraction of mid-heavy REEs from H2SO4
media has been highlighted using [N1888] [P507] [174]. In some cases, the TSIL is used as
an extractant that can be diluted in organic solvent. This was proposed by Dutta et al. [175]
for the liquid–liquid extraction of gadolinium from a nitric acid medium to an organic phase
consisting of [N1888] [P507] extractant dissolved in n-dodecane.
As shown in different studies, beta-diketones are also widely used for the recovery of
REEs. They have been studied as anions for the implementation of TSIL-based extraction
systems [176,177]. This extractant was used for the application of a homogeneous liquid–
liquid extraction process involving a hexafluoroacetylacetone [hfac] as anion in an IL-based
system involving [Ch] [hfac] and [Ch] [NTf2]. Extraction of Nd(III) was performed by taking
advantage of [Ch] [NTf2] thermomorphic behaviour in water and of the formation of an anionic
tetrakis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)Nd(III) complex, with a choline cation as counter ion. It
was accompanied by an ion exchange of three choline ions from the IL phase to the aqueous

4.2. Future of Liquid–Liquid Extraction


The number of studies involving IL-based extracting systems for the recovery of REEs is
constantly increasing. Many studies have focused on imidazolium-based cations with
hydrophobic anions, including PF6− and NTf2−, but more recent studies involve other types of
cations, such as ammonium or phosphonium. Khazalpour et al. published a recent review
focused on phosphonium-based ionic liquid PILs for various applications, including ion
extraction and, therefore, REE recovery [205].
Recent studies rely on the use of ionic liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-ABS)
to avoid having to resort to hydrophobic ILs, which are mainly based on fluorinated anions
that are expensive and present a significant environmental impact. Currently, the use of this
type of IL-ABS system is not well-reported for the recovery of REEs [206], except for a few
examples [207,208].
In the majority of the studies for the recovery of REEs, DESs are involved in the leaching
process but not as extracting phases. Hydrophobic DESs (HDESs) demonstrated promising
results as extracting phases for the extraction and separation of metallic elements

Beyond their efficiency for the extraction of REEs, ionic solvents can also be used for the

Although electroleaching has been demonstrated for different metals using ionic

solvents, there are only a few studies focused on REEs. Further research on this topic should
Endorse
therefore be further considered.


4.4. Mechanism and Predictive Models
Comment
Another open question concerns the mechanisms involved in ionic solvents, which are
not fully described in most of the studies on this topic. Comprehension and prediction of
solvent extraction in ionic solvents would help in identifying a priori which ionic solvent can be
used to transpose the extractant systems known in conventional solvents to ionic solvents.
Transposition from conventional diluents to ionic solvents would therefore become more
straightforward and less expensive for industrial actors.
Recent studies have been undertaken focused on supramolecular mechanisms and the
formation of aggregates [149]. In addition, the contributions of modelling and theoretical
chemistry are important to take into account in order to better understand these mechanisms
and acquire predictable models.
To render the application of ILs in solvent extraction predictable and reliable, it is
therefore of crucial importance to understand their impact in the solvent extraction
mechanisms. Specifically, it is also of prime industrial importance to use non-sacrificial ILs, for
which it is necessary to be able to predict why and with which ILs ion exchange may occur or
not.

It is important to further investigate the stripping of REEs from the loaded ionic phase, as well

as, in some cases, the scrubbing of the ionic phase before reusing it in new extracting steps.

The limitations of these processes should be taken into account, such as the loss of ionic

The industrial applications of ionic liquids are steadily increasing in many sectors [228]: a

Seren Technologies Limited, based on patents from Nockemann’s group at Queen’s

University Belfast [229,230], and a pilot-scale plant for rare earth ore separation is currently

being built.
The rise of DESs is also moving in this direction since they involve lower viscosities and
cheaper precursors than the ILs, making technical considerations for the implementation of
industrial process less restrictive [231]. It appears that the application of DESs for the
recovery of REEs could address some of the existing challenges of ionic liquids.
4.6. Environmental Impact
The low pressure of ionic liquid vapours is often considered a major advantage of ionic
liquids from an environmental point of view, and these liquids are considered as
environmentally friendly alternatives to volatile organic solvents. However, the toxicity of
these ionic systems must be considered [232,233]. It has been shown that the overall toxicity
of ILs depends on both their cation—and particularly the cation alkyl chain length—and anion
parts [234,235]. It seems important to take into account these factors when implementing IL-
based extracting systems and choosing the cation and anion. Once again, this tends to
encourage the use of DESs and, more particularly, NADESs. Indeed, DESs are usually
known to be less toxic and more biodegradable than ILs [236]. However, statements about
DESs’ low toxicity are based on the low toxicities of their individual components; however,
