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.
