Abstract
Power ultrasound energy has been extended to sample pretreatment and particle disruption, as a consequence of which its penetration to atomic and subatomic spacing enhances the extraction of materials from their ores. Solvent extraction technique was employed for extraction of cerium from rare earth element by use of compatible optimum blended solvent. Nanoceria was prepared using cerous nitrate (Ce(NO3)3
