Use advice for data set
When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, consider the following: - This dataset is specific to solvent extraction facilities in Fujian province, China, and may not be representative of all solvent extraction processes globally. - Pay attention to the substantial radioactive element content, especially thorium and uranium, that might be found in primary REE resources which affects the environmental impact assessment. - Additional purification steps for achieving >99% purity in individual rare earth solutions must be included in the impact assessment. - The separation of adjacent rare earth ions may involve complex extractants' behaviors which should be modeled carefully in the LCA process.

General comment
The rare earth elements (REE) leachate production through solvent extraction and ion adsorption from clay is primarily used in the production of individual rare earth ions, which are subsequently used in various high-technology applications, including electronics, magnets, ceramics, and as catalysts in the chemical industry. The process efficiently separates heavy, medium, and light rare earth ions for the creation of high-purity (>99%) rare earth solutions required in these advanced applications.
