The separation of trivalent rare earth metals in conditions interfering with hydroxide precipitation was studied. It was found that under certain conditions La, Ce, Nd, Pm, Y, Er, snd Lu, which do not have stable divalent states, csn be separated at a mercury cathode. It is postulated that electrolytic separation results from a reduction to the divalent state followed by an exchange with mercury amalgam. (R.V.J.)
