Rare earth elements (REE) include the lanthanide series elements (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) plus Sc and Y. Currently these metals have become very critical to several modern technologies ranging from cell phones and televisions to LED light bulbs and wind turbines.

The US Department of Energy announced last month plans to offer $140 million for building and operating a plant that will separate rare-earth elements (REEs) from some combination of coal waste, acid mine drainage, and hard rock mine waste. Those wastes, however, have low concentrations of REEs that are comparable to those in soils …

The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's crust at 60 parts per million, to thulium and lutetium, the least abundant rare-earth elements at about 0. ...

Rare earths coexist with other elements throughout the earth's crust, but unlike coal, which is compressed into thick ribbons, they're more dispersed and difficult to separate from surrounding ore. In 1999, the same year Winner invested in the Westinghouse site, a geologist named Jim Hower quantified the rare earth elements in …

Rare earth elements (REE), a group of 17 elements included in the list of critical minerals pursuant to Executive Order 13817, are used in many components and products in various sectors. Examples of sectors in which REE are commonly used include petrochemicals, metals and alloys, glass and ceramics, and electronics.

"Kazakhstan already produces rare earth elements, eagerly looking for new partners to invest in rare earths mining and processing. For example, just last year the country signed 23 cooperation agreements at the Kazakh-German business forum, including the agreement to extract and process complex rare earths in eastern Kazakhstan.

The rare earths are 17 metallic elements, located in the middle of the periodic table (atomic numbers 21, 39, and 57–71). These metals have unusual fluorescent, conductive, and magnetic properties—which make them very useful when alloyed, or mixed, in small quantities with more common metals such as iron. Geologically speaking, the rare ...
