Various processes separate rare earths from other metal salts. These processes also separate rare earths into specific subgroups. The methods are based on fractional precipitation, selective extraction by nonaqueous solvents, or selective ion exchange. Separation of individual rare earths is the most important step in recovery. Separation may be achieved by ion exchange and solvent extraction techniques. Also, ytterbium may be separated from a mixture of heavy rare earths by reduction with sodium amalgam. In this method, a buffered acidic solution of trivalent heavy rare earths is treated with molten sodium mercury alloy. Ybs+ is reduced and dissolved in the molten alloy. The alloy is treated with hydrochloric acid, after which ytterbium is extracted into the solution. The metal is precipitated as oxalate from solution. 

In addition, for solid samples or peptides in nonaqueous solvents, the amide II (primarily in-plane NH deformation mixed with C—N stretch, -1500-1530 cm-1) and the amide A (NH stretch, -3300 cm-1 but quite broad) bands are also useful added diagnostics of secondary structure 5,15-17 Due to their relatively broader profiles and complicated by their somewhat weaker intensities, the frequency shifts of these two bands with change in secondary structure are less dramatic than for the amide I yet for oriented samples their polarization properties remain useful 18 Additionally, the amide A and amide II bands are highly sensitive to deuteration effects. Thus, they can be diagnostic of the degree of exchange for a peptide and consequently act as a measure of protected or buried residues as compared to those fully exposed to solvent 9,19,20 Amide A measurements are not useful in aqueous solution due to overlap with very intense water transitions, but amide II measurements can usefully be measured under such conditions 5,19,20 The amide III (opposite-phase NH deformation plus C—N stretch combination) is very weak in the IR and is mixed with other local modes, but has nonetheless been the focus of a few protein-based studies 5,21-26 Finally, other amide modes (IV-VII) have been identified at lower frequencies, but have been the subject of relatively few studies in peptides 5-8,18,27,28 ... 

Protocols for preparing six environmental sample types prior to the Ames Salmonella assay were proposed at a recent panel discussion sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the U.S. Army. Air particles, soil-sediment, and solid waste are extracted with dichloromethane, concentrated, and solvent exchanged into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Organics in water and waste water are absorbed onto XAD columns, then eluted with hexane-acetone, solvent reduced, and exchanged into DM SO. Nonaqueous liquids are assayed directly and as concentrates before they are solvent exchanged to DMSO. If bacterial toxicity or lack of dose response is observed in the Ames assay of extracts, the extracts are fractionated prior to solvent exchange. These are interim methods and have not been subjected to policy review of the USEPA or the U.S. Army.

On the other hand, dipolar solvent molecules may also compete with the aquo ligands in the coordination sphere of the metal cation, e.g., in the nonprotonated acid form (HX). Adduct formation in the absence of proton exchange or ion association (e.g., in nonaqueous solvents) is denoted as an Lewis acid-base interaction. The adduct formation may be described and evaluated by using the Hammett function introduced previously (Equations 8.54 and 8.55) according to - °...
