Until recently, the classic approach to mineral exploration studies was to bring the field
samples/drill cores collected during field studies to the laboratory, followed by laborious …

The use of analytical techniques is important and critical in all areas related to REE, such as
basic fundamental research, exploration, mining, extraction, and metallurgical activities at …

Rare earth elements (REE) include the lanthanide series (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd,
Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) plus Sc and Y. All these metals occur together in different …

Deep-sea mud enriched in rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY-rich mud) has been
recognized as a new resource for REY and scandium (Sc). Recently, highly REY-rich mud …

Abstract Rare Earth Elements play a critical role in current clean technologies but face
scarcity and environmental challenges in their extraction. Using semi-natural controlled …

In this study, the mineralogy of a novel resource of deep-sea sediments containing rare
earth elements (REEs) was investigated, along with the leaching of REEs using hydrochloric …

Interoceanmetal Joint Organization (IOM) claim area, located in the eastern part of the …

Deep-sea mud has received significant attention from the international community as a
novel resource of rare earth elements (REEs). In this study, a novel approach is proposed for …

The growing scale of the devastation that even a single terrorist attack can cause requires
more effective methods for the detection of hazardous materials. In particular, there are no …

X-Ray detection has attracted attention in the fields of environmental monitoring, security
