Currently, there is an increasing industrial demand for rare earth elements (REE) as these
elements are now integral to the manufacture of many carbon-neutral technologies. The …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are now considered critical raw materials due to their economic
importance and possible supply risk. To meet the future demand, explorations for REEs are …

In the last few years, many efforts have been devoted to the factors controlling the
distribution of CMs in karst bauxites, residual deposits hosted in carbonate rocks. Most of …

Bastnäsites (LnCO 3 (F, OH)) are a group of common rare earth elements (REE)-bearing
minerals and are one of the primary global sources of REE. Due to the chemical similarities …

The low-grade bauxite in southern Shanxi Province, China is enriched in multiple critical
metal elements, including Li, Ga, V, Se, and rare earth elements (REEs), which have …

Developments in Earth system research have led to widespread interest in multi‐sphere
interactions that may have controlled bauxite formation. Although karst bauxite ores are …

Palaeo weathering during the Cretaceous–Eocene interval is most favorable for
bauxitization, ie, transport and deposition in traps on the karstified surfaces of the …

The occurrence of very-high-grade bauxite ores of karst-type deposits resulting from Fe-
leaching is of particular importance, because they are widespread in the Mediterranean …

Croatian bauxites are long known for their chemical and physical diversity arisen from their
characteristic origin and emplacement within the area of the Adriatic–Dinaric carbonate …

Karst bauxite deposits in the North Dalmatian piggyback basin (NDPGB) are a part of the
Mediterranean bauxite belt, which is the largest European bauxite deposit zone; however …
