• Removal of phosphate from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto Ca(OH)2 treated natural clinoptilolite (2017, background): “Despite the good phosphate adsorption capacity of natural minerals modified with polyvalent metals such as Zr4+, La3+, Al3+ or Fe3+, there is the risk of toxic effects on aquatic species and deterioration of water quality by the release of these metals, especially Al3+ and Fe3+, under redox or acidi”
• The Rare Earth Elements: Demand, Global Resources, and Challenges for Resourcing Future Generations (2018, background): “The REE are widely viewed as critical metals, because they are extensively used in modern technology, but all aspects of their supply chain are dominated by China (Massari and Ruberti 2013; EC 2014; Wall 2014).”
