Separation of the Lanthanons at Amalgam Cathodes. Measurement of the Separability of Praseodymium and Neodymium in Aqueous Lithium Citrate Electrolytes
The separability of Pr and Nd by electrolysis at amalgam cathodes was measured under controlled conditions of temperature, electrolyte composition, and current density. Separability increased with increasing concentration of Pr + Nd in the electrolyte and was highest at low current density. The Pr/Nd ratio in the amalgam was as high as 3.3 for electrolyte containing 0.2M Pr and 0.2M Nd. For a given concentration of Pr + Nd in the electrolyte, the separation factor did not change much when the Pr/Nd ratio in the electrolyte was varied from 0.1 to 10. La or Gd in the electrolyte did not lower the separation factor.
