“…Since most of the REEs occur intermingled within the same mineral phase, single REEs can be regarded as proxies for the REE sub-groups: neodymium for light rare earth elements (LREE) and erbium for heavy rare earth elements (HREE). A LIF map of the Nd 3+ - and Er 3+ -related luminescence enables an extraction of enrichment zones along mineralogical features, such as veins and textures, which is very valuable for exploration of potential REE deposits [34].…”

“…It is often associated with ore deposits (Bhushan and Kumar, 2013;Foley et al, 2013;Nikiforov et al, 2014), which may be formed directly from subducted carbonates or reactivated by subduction processes (Yang et al, 2009;Ling et al, 2013b). In this volume, carbonatite in South Qinling orogenic belt was attributed to the Early-Middle Triassic recycled Mianlue oceanic crust.…”

“…Coal, bauxite, oil, and gas resources have also been considered as possible sources of by-product rare earths; these are likewise not currently economic. All of these concentration mechanisms have been the focus of research since 2011 (19,20).…”
