Rare earth mineral that form their own deposits: Bastnaesite, Monazite, Xenotime. To extract the rare earth elements industrial importance are the following minerals: S ynchysite, Euxenite, Gadolinite, Loparite; Rare earth elements are extracted from the following minerals too: Churchite, Rhabdophane, Parisite, Fergusonite, Samarskite, Allanite.
Rare earth metals — those 17 chemically similar elements at the bottom of the periodic table — are in almost every piece of technology we use from cell phones to wind turbines to electric cars. Because these elements are so similar to each other, the process of separating them is time consuming, expensive, and dangerous. Processing one ton of rare earths can produce 2,000 tons of toxic ...
