Use advice for data set
Users of this dataset should account for the technological specificity of the solvent extraction process when applying this data to LCA models, considering the various separation stages required for achieving the desired purity levels of individual REEs. Special attention should be given to the inclusion or exclusion of impacts associated with the co-extraction of radioactive elements like thorium and uranium. Additional methodological considerations must include the potential need for supplemental extraction steps to isolate each REE and meet high purity specifications, which can affect the overall environmental impact assessment.

General comment
The separated rare earth elements (REE) obtained through solvent extraction processes are critical for various high-tech applications, including the production of magnets for wind turbines and electric vehicles, battery alloys, electronics, optical equipment, and catalysts. The final products, individual rare earth carbonates, are integral to the manufacturing of specialized components where high purity REE are required due to their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical properties.
