Despite hype around non-Chinese mining of these elements, no commercial production has been achieved outside China due to technical, environmental, and economic challenges. Without addressing these issues, attempts to create a non-Chinese supply chain for rare earth magnets are unlikely to succeed.” — Jack Lifton, Co-Chair, Critical Minerals Institute (...

source:EosRare earth elements (REEs) are a set of metallic elements. Cast your mind back to high school chemistry and they are the obscure and difficult-to-pronounce elements near the bottom of the periodic table. They comprise 15 elements in the lanthanoid series plus scandium and yttrium.A new book in the Special Publications series, Rare Earth Elements: Sustainable Recovery, Processing, and Purification, describes sources of rare earths and methods of production that have the potential to make recovery, processing, and purification more sustainable. We asked the book’s editors about d...
