“…Drainage basins in water catchments (Bétard et al, 2018; Silva et al, 2013; Zandi and Shafiei, 2019) were the most popular terrestrial environment type utilised by scholars. Conversely, glacial (Kot, 2018), cave (Stepišnik and Trenchovska, 2018) and valley environments or study sites (Radwanek-Bak, 2014) were the least commonly used and assessed in the literature, with only one publishable output each. Of all the assessments considered, eight considered geodiversity assessment from a state-wide scale (dos Santos et al, 2019; Pereira et al, 2013; Serrano et al, 2009).…”

“…In addition, the treatment of geological elements varied considerably from scholar to scholar. For example, many articles attributed a single numerical value to geodiversity (Araujo and Pereira, 2018; Orsi, 2011; Santos et al, 2017), while others characterised and classified individual geological elements (Bétard et al, 2018; Hjort and Luoto, 2010; Pereira et al, 2013) and some merely acknowledge the presence of geological type in their site descriptions (Radwanek-Bak, 2014; Seijmonsbergen et al, 2017). Therefore, some criteria or process should be proposed in subsequent studies to identify and select research sites for future quantitative geodiversity assessments, similar to site selection processes adopted in geoheritage inventorying and assessments (Brilha, 2015).…”

Geodiversity assessment is recent and is passing through a stage of methodological development and consolidation. With rapid environmental change, improving the developmental states of geodiversity assessment is of paramount importance. A scientometric analysis is presented to identify knowledge gaps, current trends and avenues for future research in quantitative geodiversity assessment literature. The study is categorised into three areas of analysis: (a) methodological intentions of geodiversity assessment, (b) current trends in geodiversity assessment methods and (c) current geographic trends. A ranking tool was developed to determine whether the current methodological intentions of geodiversity assessments trend towards combined geodiversity and biodiversity assessments or towards the independent assessment of geodiversity. Results showed that about 50% of publications independently assessed geodiversity with no consideration for biodiversity, 32% discussed or reviewed geodiversity by mentioning potential links to biodiversity and 12% more strongly linked geodiversity assessment to biodiversity assessment. Tools used by scholars to determine geodiversity values varied from statistical through to the more frequently adopted geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analytical software approaches. Study sites selected for geodiversity assessments were predominantly terrestrial at the state-wide scale. Marine assessments, or seabed geodiversity, were mostly absent from the literature, with only two publications found. Brazil in South America had many geodiversity assessments and European scholars have played crucial roles in the development of quantitative geodiversity assessment in recent years. Subsequent research will benefit from developing a unified geodiversity assessment approach, reaching a consensus on an accepted definition and standardising the geodiversity concept, broadening research site environment types and developing strategies to promote further international and intranational collaboration.

“…the phosphogypsum disposal site at the wizów chemical plant in Lower silesia is also well explored. the national demand for rare earth elements is met by imports, mainly from china, west european countries, Usa, and from estonia (2007)(2008) (radwanek-Bąk 2011;całusz-moszko and Białecka 2012;Blaschke et al 2015;Jarosiński 2016).…”

the high temperature ashes (Hta) from bituminous coal combustion as a potential resource of rare earth elements introduction rees in coal constitute a group of elements of special importance. due to their chemical properties they are usually studied as one group rather than individually.rare earth elements (ree) include 17 elements, i.e.: 15 lanthanides (La, ce, Pr, nd, Pm, sm, eu, gd, tb, dy, Ho, er, tm, yb, Lu) and sc, y. there are several classifications of these elements that take into account geochemical and economic considerations (seredin 2010; seredin and dai 2012). according to a geochemical classification, ree fall into three subgroups: light rare earth elements (Lree: La, ce, Pr, nd, Pm, sm), medium rare earth elements (mree: eu, gd, tb, dy) and heavy rare earth elements (Hree: Ho, er, tm, yb and Lu). if yttrium is included in the lanthanides, the following three subgroups are formed: light elements (Lrey: La, ce, Pr, nd, sm), medium elements (mrey: eu, gd, tb, dy, y) and heavy elements (Hrey: Ho, er, tm, yb, Lu). the above classification is very convenient for describing the distribution of rare earth elements specifically lanthanides and yttrium (rey) in coal as well as in coal ash and in ores.

The effective dissolution of metals is widely known with the help of microorganisms called bioleaching or biomining used for the extraction of metals from their ores. Usually the microorganisms involved in biomining are chemolithoautotrophic and extremophilic in nature, since they are living in highly acidic environments (pH 1-3.0) containing heavy concentrations of metals. The commonly found genera of archea are Sulfolobus, Acidianus, Metallosphaera, and Sulfurisphaera. Throughput microbial genomics and proteomics analysis provides novel insights of metabolism mechanisms of bioleaching microbes. These microbes are having significant impact on the bioremediation of acid mine drainage (AMD) resulted from many industrial operations. Using these microbes, various metals including Ni, Cd, Cu, Fe, As, Pb, Hg, Cr, Mn, Zn, etc. are removed from the environment. Biomining microorganisms are having significant applications in the biotechnological processes including extraction of gold from ores, extraction of nickel from low-grade sulfide ores, extraction of copper from chalcopyrite, etc.
