Rare earth elements (REE), essential metals for the transition to a zero-emission economy,
are mostly extracted from REE-fluorcarbonate minerals in deposits associated with …

The Mianhuakeng deposit is the largest granite-related U deposit in China, with multiple
hydrothermal quartz veins. However, its genesis and ore-forming processes are still under …

Uranium extraction from seawater (UES) is crucial for ensuring the sustainable development
of nuclear power and has seen significant advancements in recent years. However, natural …

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 …

X-ray diffraction (XRD) data analysis can be a time-consuming and laborious task. Deep
neural network (DNN) based models trained with synthetic XRD patterns have been proven …

Uranium (U) and iron (Fe) are generally considered to have contrasting aqueous
geochemical behavior, with U dissolution being favored in oxidizing fluids as oxidized U (U …

Pressure-induced phase transitions from the zircon structure-type (I 41/amd) to the scheelite
structure type (I 41/a) are known for many ternary oxides systems (ABO4). In this work, we …

The regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits in South China are important sources
of the world's REE production. The alteration processes of primary REE-bearing minerals in …

Co-existed organics bring great challenges for uranium recycling from water because of the
formation of obstinate complexes with uranyl ions (UO 2 2+), predominated species of …

The hydrolysis of uranium (VI) has been investigated by solubility experiments conducted on
sodium uranate (Na 2 U 2 O 7) over a pH T range of 4.5–8 at 200 and 250° C. Equilibrium …
