“…Therefore, for recovery of samarium the discharge of Sm(III) on the reactive cathodes with the formation of intermetallic compounds is used. There are a lot of studies on the recovery of samarium with utilization of different cathodes from Cu, 9 Mg, 10,11 Zn,, 12,13 Cd, 14,15 Al, [16][17][18][19][20] Ga, 21,22 Sn,, 23 Bi, 14,15,24,25 Fe, 26,27 Co, [28][29][30] Ni. [30][31][32][33] At the same time, the number of studies devoted to the behavior of the Sm(III)/Sm(II) redox couple is small.…”
