Researchers from the KU Leuven Department of Chemical Engineering have discovered a method to separate two rare earth elements — europium and yttrium — with UV light instead of with traditional solvents.

When we add sulphate, only the europium reacts with it.

For other applications, however, it is necessary to separate europium and yttrium from the rare - earth mixture.
