Abstract
Research on recycling of used rare earth elements has been of great interest. Adsorption is one of the advantageous methods to recover gadolinium with high value. In the process of adsorption and separation of gadolinium from materials, the selectivity of materials for gadolinium can be significantly improved by using ion imprinting technique. However, gadolinium elution process is a traditional pickling process, which may affect the construction of imprinting sites. In this study, bacterial cellulose with three-dimensional spatial structure was used as the base material of aerogel material, and functional materials containing a large number of carboxyl groups were introduced by chemical grafting method. In combination with ion imprinting technology and N-polyacrylamide as intelligent temperature control valve, intelligent imprinting aerogel (PNBC-IIPS) with specific selectivity to gadolinium was prepared. The properties of aerogel materials were analyzed by SEM, FT-IR, and BET characterization. The experimental analysis shows that the desorption of gadolinium can be achieved by controlling the temperature change. The adsorption experiments show that PNBC-IIPS can selectively adsorb gadolinium ions from aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption capacity reached 95.51 mg g-1. Compared with unimprinted aerogel, the maximum adsorption capacity of gadolinium ion is significantly increased, which proves that the introduced ion imprinting technique plays a key role in the adsorption process. Cyclic experiments show that the adsorption capacity of PNBC-IIPS can still maintain 88% of the original adsorption capacity after 5 times of adsorption and desorption. In conclusion, PNBC-IIPS is a green adsorbent for selective recovery of gadolinium ions.

Abstract
Recently, demands for raw materials like rare earth elements (REEs) have increased considerably due to their high potential applications in modern industry. Additionally, REEs' similar chemical and physical properties caused their separation to be difficult. Numerous strategies for REEs separation such as precipitation, adsorption and solvent extraction have been applied. However, these strategies have various disadvantages such as low selectivity and purity of desired elements, high cost, vast consumption of chemicals and creation of many pollutions due to remaining large amounts of acidic and alkaline wastes. Membrane separation technology (MST), as an environmentally friendly approach, has recently attracted much attention for the extraction of REEs. The separation of REEs by membranes usually occurs through three mechanisms: (1) complexation of REE ions with extractant that is embedded in the membrane matrix, (2) adsorption of REE ions on the surface created-active sites on the membrane and (3) the rejection of REE ions or REEs complex with organic materials from the membrane. In this review, we investigated the effect of these mechanisms on the selectivity and efficiency of the membrane separation process. Finally, potential directions for future studies were recommended at the end of the review.

Abstract
High selective recovery of Gd(Ⅲ) from end-of-life rare earth productions is essential for cleaner production. Chitosan(CS), a biomaterial, has shown excellent results in water treatment. The amino and hydroxyl groups on the surface of CS play a vital role in adsorbing metal ions. Polydopamine has good stability, strong water dispersibility, and excellent biocompatibility. As a bio-crosslinking agent, the amino and phenolic hydroxyl groups on its surface can be combined with metal ions to help the material absorb metal ions. This paper combines the active groups of biomimetic materials and the mechanical properties of new nanomaterials multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide, and prepared a high-performance chitosan-based aerogel MWCNT-PDA-CS-GO through heat and mass transfer at low temperature and low pressure. The adsorption mechanism of MWCNT-PDA-CS-GO for Gd(Ⅲ) was analyzed through a series of characterization and adsorption experiments. At pH 7.0, the maximum adsorption capacity of aerogel for Gd(Ⅲ) reached 150.86 mg g-1. The relative selectivity of imprinted ions is 48.02 times higher than other ions. All the results indict MWCNT-PDA-CS-GO aerogel exhibits excellent selectivity and stability for effective recovery of Gd(Ⅲ).

Abstract
Rare earth separation is still a major challenge in membrane science. Nitrogen-doped nanoporous graphene (NDNG) is a promising material for membrane separation, but it has not yet been tested for rare earth separation, and it is limited by multi-complex synthesis. Herein, we developed a one-step, facile, and scalable approach to synthesize NDNG with tunable pore size and controlled nitrogen content using confinement combustion. Nanoporous hydrotalcite from Zn(NO3)2 is formed between layers of graphene oxide (GO) absorbed with phenylalanine via confinement growth, thus preparing the sandwich hydrotalcite/phenylalanine/GO composites. Subsequently, area-confinement combustion of hydrotalcite nanopores is used to etch graphene nanopores, and the hydrotalcite interlayer as a closed flat nanoreactor induces two-dimensional space confinement doping of planar nitrogen into graphene. The membrane prepared by NDNG achieves separation of Sc3+ from the other rare earth ions with excellent selectivity (∼3.7) through selective electrostatic interactions of pyrrolic-N, and separation selectivity of ∼1.7 for Tm3+/Sm3+. A multiple confinement strategy is constructed to achieve the synthesis of NDNG Planar nitrogen-doped NDNG with tunable pore size is obtained by one-step synthesis NDNG membrane presents excellent selectivity for rare earth in strong acidic media
