The foam fractionation of rare-earth elements Nd, Sm, and Ce by extraction of their EDTA chelates with a cationic surfactant, and the foam fractionation of an anionic surfactant were studied. The objective was to determine the usefulness of the foaming technique in fine separations and to examine quantitatively the properties of transient foaming in producing the separation.
