FIELD : chemistry. SUBSTANCE : invention can be used in technology of selective extracting scandium from concentrates of rare-earth elements (REE). The method for extracting scandium from concentrate of rare-earth elements in the form of an aqueous solution comprises contacting an aqueous solution containing scandium nitrate, REE nitrates, lithium trichloroacetate with a concentration of 1.0-2.0 mol/l with an extractant for 3 minutes. As an extractant, a solution of benzo-15-crown-5 in chloroform is used, and the extraction process is carried out at pH of 3.0-5.0. EFFECT : increasing the coefficients of metal separation and the possibility of carrying out a process of selective extracting scandium from neutral concentrated solutions of REE nitrates before conducting their group separation processes according to a standard process scheme. 2 cl, 4 ex
