Abstract

According to one embodiment, a process for producing rare metals includes the steps of: recovering a first-residue solution through a primary target metal extracted by leaching a mineral resource; extracting a perrhenic acid ion contained in the first-residue solution with at least one of an anion exchange resin and a first-organic solvent; back extracting the perrhenic acid ion contained in the anion exchange resin or the first-organic solvent to a first-eluant; and electrolyzing the back extracted first-eluant to collect a rhenium at a cathode.
