This study presents a pH-controlled solvent extraction method to separate Samarium (Sm) from light REEs simulating Beylikova REE leaching liquid. The process, utilizing 0.75 M DEHPA in kerosene, showed that Sm achieved a 59% extraction efficiency at pH 0.5, significantly higher than La, Pr, and Nd. This pH optimization enhances the sustainability and efficiency of REE extraction, promoting the effective utilization of Turkey's REE resources and domestic technologies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRare Earth ElementsSolvent ExtractionSelective SeparationSamariumpresentation
