A critical review on solvent extraction of rare earths from aqueous solutions

•Separation processes for RE solvent extraction from aqueous solutions have been reviewed.•Bastnesite, monazite, and xenotime are main sources of RE hydrometallurgical processing.•SX is the main technology to separate individual rare earths or produce mixed rare earths.•For process configuration, up...
