Rare earth –
It is a key material
to human beings’ future.

Nippon Yttrium Co., Ltd. (NYC) is one of the first companies to mass-produce high-purity rare earth products, using the solvent extraction method and the ion exchange method. Today, rare earths are not only used in many electronic products, but also in a wide range of industrial fields, from energy to medicine and semiconductors.About Nippon Yttrium Co., Ltd. (NYC)

What are Rare Earths elements?

About Rare Earths

Rare earth is a generic term for 17 elements, including 15 elements from lanthanum (atomic number 57) to lutetium (atomic number 71), plus scandium (atomic number 21) and yttrium (atomic number 39). These 17 elements have a similar electronic configuration of atoms and consequently show similar chemical properties. Therefore, it was not possible to separate individual rare earth elements using the traditional precipitation separation method. By using the ion exchange method and solvent extraction method, we have been able to obtain individual pure rare earth elements (REEs) for the first time.
