• The Rare Earth Elements: Demand, Global Resources, and Challenges for Resourcing Future Generations (2018, neutral): “…localities, most notably in China, REE in lateritic sections are not held within secondary minerals but are adsorbed onto clay surfaces, from where they can be easily leached at ambient temperatures using a reagent such as ammonium sulfate (Bao and Zhao 2008; Moldoveanu and Papangelakis 2012).”
• An overview of rare-earth recovery by ion-exchange leaching from ion-adsorption clays of various origins (2016, methodology): “Various investigations of the desorption of REE fromclaysviaion-exchangeleaching(ChiandTian, 2008;MoldoveanuandPapangelakis,2012,2013) indicatedthat,regardlessoftheinitialcontent,not all REE reached similar extraction levels (i.e. the percentages of desorbed/recovered REE varied widely).”
• A Detailed Assessment of Global Rare Earth Element Resources: Opportunities and Challenges (2015, background): “Shifting from one dominant supplier (i.e., China) to a more diverse global REO supply chain is crucial for ensuring long-term REE resource security and meeting growing global demands for the REE.”
