Ytterbium: Oxide Reduced by Lanthanum at 1020 °C in Vacuum, Metal Distilled Off (Shindo and Yagi, US 2010/0260640)
Ytterbium boils far more easily than lanthanum. Heated with lanthanum in a vacuum, ytterbium oxide gives up its oxygen to the lanthanum, and the freed ytterbium leaves as vapour and condenses in a cooler zone, while lanthanum oxide stays behind.
Result: ytterbium metal ingots; 20 kg of distillate in the patent's run, low in sodium, potassium and lithium.
Source: Y. Shindo and K. Yagi, US patent application 2010/0260640 (2010), Example 1. Not given: how much lanthanum, the vacuum, the time, crucible and condenser materials. Picture drawn by Youblob.

Condense the ytterbium at 200-600 °C
Catch the ytterbium vapour on a condenser held at 200-600 °C. Most of it settles in the 300-500 °C part; the 200-300 °C part carries the least sodium and lithium. Ours: a tantalum condenser plate.
