About this book
An Overview of Rare Earth Elements and Their Environmental Impact is a clear, current guide to the geology, mining, recovery and environmental impact of rare earth elements. Rare earths are now essential to modern technologies and the shift toward a lower-carbon economy, from electric vehicles and wind turbines to magnets, batteries and electronics.
The book brings fundamental concepts together with recent advances in six chapters: an introduction to rare earth elements; their geology, mineralogy and geochemistry; exploration, resource estimation and mining; beneficiation and physical processing of ores; the chemistry and extraction of rare earths; and the environmental impacts of mining and processing, from land, water and air to tailings, radioactivity and rehabilitation.
Key features: coverage from geology to environmental management; advances in exploration, mining and recovery; a focus on sustainability and the circular economy; and real-world cases and global perspectives. Chapters include chapter summaries, key learning points, review questions, multiple-choice questions, worked numericals and references.
Who it is for: researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, industry professionals, policymakers, and anyone working on the geological, technological or environmental side of rare earths.
