Lanthanide-ion imprinted polymers (L-IIPs) were synthesized by stoichiometric amounts of rare earth ions and the cavities in the polymers were created for the corresponding lanthanide ions. The maximum sorption capacity, are estimated to be 125.3, 126.5, 127.6, 128.2 and 129.1 mg g-1 for Pr, Nd, Sm,...
