Process mineralogy of rare earths from deeply weathered ...

1. Introduction. Considerable attention has been paid to rare earth mineral (REM) resources over the last decade. The demand for rare earth elements (REEs: lanthanides – La to Lu, scandium – Sc, and yttrium – Y) in high technology applications has increased, and because China accounts for about 70% of world production,, the search for new resources has …

Not So "Green" Technology: The Complicated Legacy of …

For every ton of rare earth produced, the mining process yields 13kg of dust, 9,600-12,000 cubic meters of waste gas, 75 cubic meters of wastewater, and one ton of radioactive residue. This stems from the fact that rare earth element ores have metals that, when mixed with leaching pond chemicals, contaminate air, water, and soil.

Rare earth minerals are a highly valued commodity. China currently controls 80% of the world's resources and refines most of the rare earth minerals mined in the world. This in and of itself is not an issue unless rare earth minerals become politicalized, which occasionally they do. In 2010 China restricted rare earth mineral shipments to Japan.
