Kołodyńska, and 4 co-authors, produced Chapter 8 of the book released in 2019 and reported that rare earth elements (REEs) belong to the group of strategic elements. Their separation together with the spectral, magnetic and coordinative properties of REEs is essential for their further applications. Separation is usually achieved by precipitation of REEs such as double sulphates NaLn(SO4)2 or oxalates Ln2(C2O4)3 as well as extraction and/or ion exchange method application.
Currently, the recovery of rare earth metals from secondary sources is also very important. The details connected with the rare earth element recovery from nickel–metal hydride batteries and permanent magnets as well as their separation was described in this paper.
The authors concluded that separation of individual REEs on an industrial scale is very complex. Obtaining REEs of high purity requires purification of their concentrates. It should be also mentioned that their separation together with the spectral, magnetic and coordinative properties of REEs are essential for their further applications.

This book entitled: Applications of Ion Exchange Materials in the Environment presents the applications of ion-exchange materials in the area of environmental analysis and treatment. It includes chapters on applications of organic, inorganic and composite ion exchange materials and hexacyanoferrates in various fields such as chemical and biochemical separations, water purification, removal of harmful impurities, dyes and cationic and anionic complexes.
This book is a valuable source of knowledge on ion-exchange materials and their applications suitable for postgraduate students and researchers but also to industrial R&D specialists in chemistry, chemical, and biochemical technology. Additionally, this book will provide an in-depth knowledge of ion-exchange column and operations suitable for engineers and industrialists.
