Potential of Reserve and the Recycling of Rare Earths
Dobrescu, Emilian M. (2025), Potential of Reserve and the Recycling of Rare Earths, Intelligence Info, 4:3, 85-90, https://www.intelligenceinfo.org/potential-of-reserve-and-the-recycling-of-rare-earths/ Abstract In 2011, there were over 312 exploration projects of rare earths deposits reviewed on the planet, involving over 202 companies of very diverse class from about 34 countries. Essential today in green technologies, based on rare metals is gallium, used to make LEDs, as well as indium, used for LCD type screens (liquid crystal display). Indium is also used for … Citeşte mai mult
Rare Earths in Other Countries Except China
Dobrescu, Emilian M. (2024), Rare Earth in Other Countries Except China, Intelligence Info, 3:3, 94-104, https://www.intelligenceinfo.org/rare-earths-in-other-countries-except-china/ Abstract Bolivia has large deposits of Rare Earth Elements (REE), Canadians already explore in the south of the country in search of REE. Australia and Brazil have recently identified such deposits; but no new mining operation started sooner than 2014. Issues are not given by the rarity of REE, but by the difficulty of their extraction. Keywords: rare earths, rare earth elements, Afghanistan, … Citeşte mai mult
