A quantitative analysis on the behavior of rare earth (RE) oxides during the electrolytic reduction process was conducted through thermodynamic calculations. The calculation results can identify the oxide form of RE elements as RE 2 O 3 including Ce and Pr, and provide a quantitative explanation on...
