• Rare earth elements as critical raw materials: Focus on international markets and future strategies (2013, background): “…1787 in the dumps of the Ytterby (Sweden) quarries – by Johann Gadolin in 1794: ‘‘rare’’ because, when the first REEs were discovered, he thought that they were present only in small amounts in the Earth’s crust, and ‘‘earths’’ because, as oxides, REs have an earthy appearance (Long et al., 2010).”
• Life-Cycle Assessment of the Production of Rare-Earth Elements for Energy Applications: A Review (2014, background): “, these include mines in Diamond Creek, ID, USA, Bear Lodge Mountains, WY, USA, and Pea Ridge, MO, USA (Paul and Campbell, 2011; Long et al., 2012).”
• Criticality of the Rare Earth Elements (2015, background): “REEs obtained from monazite in Brazil, India, and Malaysia were also recovered as by-products, but of ilmenite and cassiterite production (Long et al. 2010).”
• Rare earths supply chains: current status, constraints and opportunities (2014, background): “Primary rare earth ores contain REEs concentrated in minerals through magmatic processes such as partial melting, fractional crystallisation and metasomatism, while secondary rare earth ores are formed from weathering and transportation, sedimentary processes (Long et al., 2010).”
• Global Potential of Rare Earth Resources and Rare Earth Demand from Clean Technologies (2017, methodology): “In this paper, based on the USGS classification [21,28,29], we split rare earth deposit types into carbonatite, alkaline igneous rock, placer, ion adsorption, iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, and others.”
• Separation of uranium and thorium from rare earths for rare earth production – A review (2015, background): “Carboxylic acid extractants, for example naphthenic acid, are usually used for yttrium separation from heavy rare earths in China since the yttrium extraction isotherm by carboxylic acid is located in the light rare earth group (Lu and Ye, 1994; Xu, 1995; Singh et al., 2006).”
• A review of the beneficiation of rare earth element bearing minerals (2013, methodology): “Adapted from (Long et al., 2010).”
• A Detailed Assessment of Global Rare Earth Element Resources: Opportunities and Challenges (2015, background): “…also means that REE-bearing minerals often contain uranium and thorium, as is evidenced by the high concentrations of Th that are often present in REE-bearing monazite (Long et al., 2010), with significant amounts of U also present in or associated with REE-enriched mineral deposits (USEPA, 2012).”
• Rare Earth Elements Recovery from Waste Fluorescent Lamps: A Review (2015, background): “The total concentration of REEs in the earth’s crust ranges around 150–220 g/t (Long et al., 2012), and there are nearly 200 minerals containing more than 100 g/t of REEs.”
