Rare earth element (REE) production is limited in part by inefficient strategies for beneficiation. Hydroxamic acid ligands are promising reagents for the selective flotation of bastnäsite [(Ce,La)FCO 3], a major REE ore mineral, but the mechanism and energetics of adsorption are not understood, interfering with the design of new, more efficient reagents.
