  • Patent number: 5728355
    Abstract: A method for recovering reusable rare earth compounds such as rare earth oxides, rare earth fluorides, or rare earth metals from rare earth alloy scrap in an effective and safe manner. The method includes the steps of: (a) pulverizing rare earth alloy scrap at least by hydrogenating the alloy scrap to obtain pulverized alloy scrap, (b) heating the pulverized alloy scrap to obtain an oxide, (c) contacting the oxide with an acid solution to leach rare earth element into the acid solution in the form of ions, and filtering a resulting solution containing rare earth ions to obtain a filtrate, and (d) forming a precipitate containing rare earth element from the filtrate.

  • Patent number: 4325915
    Abstract: A bulk polymerization reactor takes the form of a vertical, cylindrical vat of a jacket construction defining a reaction chamber which a rotary drive shaft having an off-center longitudinal section with perforated discs and shearing blades extends vertically through. Successful preclusion of abnormal stagnation of the liquid phase in the reaction chamber during polymerization avoids undesirable coloring in the product while assuring stable polymerization and high yield.
