Clay minerals retain or adsorb metal ions in the Earth's critical zone. Rocks, sediments and
soils rich in clay minerals can concentrate rare earth elements (REEs) in ion adsorption-type …

Ion-adsorption rare earth elements (iREE) deposits are the globally predominant source of
heavy rare earth elements (HREE), which are mainly discovered and mined in southern …

Global resources of heavy Rare Earth Elements (REE) are dominantly sourced from
Chinese regolith-hosted ion-adsorption deposits in which the REE are inferred to be weakly …

Heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) such as Gd–Lu, Sc and Y are irreplaceable metals for a
number of critical (including clean) technologies, but they are scarce. Ion-adsorption …

Rare earth, with the reputation of “industrial vitamins”, has become a strategic key metal for
industrial powers with increasingly significant industrial application value. As a unique rare …

The regolith-hosted rare earth elements (REE) deposits are the dominant source of the
global heavy REE resources. This study proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) …

Subtropical weathering of granitic catchments in South China has led to the formation of
numerous giant regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits that currently account for …

Clay minerals are inferred to be the primary host materials for ion-exchangeable rare earth
in ion adsorption type rare earth ore (IAREO). During the rare earth leaching process, the …

Rare earth elements (REEs), a group of 17 elements comprises 15 lanthanides, scandium
and yttrium, are largely attracting the world's attention due to their importance in a wide …

Weathering of parent granite is pivotal in the formation of regolith-hosted rare earth elements
(REE) deposits, which provide over 90% of global heavy rare earth elements (HREE) …
