Most of the rare earths may he precipitated from solution by mandelic acid. The process is unusually selective and has the characteristics of precipitation from homogeneous solution. Minimum pH values for precipitation vary markedly from element to element. The rapidity and completeness of precipitation of each element depend on pH, concentration of mandelic acid, temperature, and concentration of rare earth.
