Abstract:The indispensable role of rare earth elements (REEs)
in manufacturing
high-tech products and developing various technologies has resulted
in a surge in REE extraction and processing. The latter, in turn,
intensifies the release of anthropogenic REEs into the environment,
particularly in the groundwater system. REE contamination in coastal
aquifer systems, which serve as drinking and domestic water sources
for large populations, demands a thorough understanding of the mechanisms
that govern REE transport and re… Show more
