Abstract:Rare earth elements (REEs) make up a group of unique
elements with
diverse applications in energy, medicine, and technology. Increasing
global demand and limited supplies have led to exploring the economic
viability of domestic feedstock extraction from sources such as coal.
Little is known about the release of REEs from coal due to the environmentally
driven processes of photodissolution. In this study, the photodissolution
of water-soluble REEs and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from subbituminous
coal was i… Show more
