Efficiency and throughput
Efficiency and throughput of individual cell comprising of circuits and P&IDs constitutes an important part of the process and an important rare determining step. These must be carefully calculated and will be presented in subsequent studies with details about each and every individual step.
Conclusions
Various relations may be used to drive and arrive at optimum relations for efficient electrometallurgical operation of cell for efficient extraction and refining of rare earth metals from their salts. These in turn may depend on various intrinsic factors such as activity, heat, and mass transfer coefficients.
