For many years, our understanding of the behavior of the REE in hydrothermal systems was
based on semi-empirical estimates involving extrapolation of thermodynamic data obtained …

Although X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was conceived in the early 20th century, it
took 60 years after the advent of synchrotrons for researchers to exploit its tremendous …

Rare earth elements (REE), essential metals for the transition to a zero-emission economy,
are mostly extracted from REE-fluorcarbonate minerals in deposits associated with …

Carbonatites and associated rocks are the main source of rare earth elements (REEs),
metals essential to modern technologies. REE mineralization occurs in hydrothermal …

Compared to all published data from carbonatites and granitoids, the fluorapatite
compositions in the Songwe Hill carbonatite, determined by EPMA and LA ICP-MS, have the …

The rare earth elements (REEs) have unique and diverse properties that make them function
as an “industrial vitamin” and thus, many countries consider them as strategically important …

Abstract The 2060 Ma old Palabora Carbonatite Complex (PCC), South Africa, comprises
diverse REE mineral assemblages formed during different stages and reflects an …

Nolans-type ore deposits contain REE and Th mineralization hosted in fluorapatite veins.
These veins intrude granulite facies rocks and are surrounded by a diopside selvage …

Abstract Knowledge of the mobility of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in crustal fluids is
important for understanding both the formation of REE deposits and their use as …

Zircon is hailed for its chemical and physical durability, but can undergo extensive chemical
and structural modification due to radiation damage via the emission of alpha (α) particles …
