This review is from: Rare Earths: Extraction, Preparation and Applications (Hardcover)

This book, dating back from a symposium now twenty years ago, includes timeless information. For instance, there is a fascinating chapter on the REE-bearing clays of South China. Information is provided on the REE concentration as well as the beneficiation of these clays.

This book also contains some basic information. For instance, there is a good summary of the principal REE-bearing minerals (p. 17). This includes their empirical formulas.

There are chapters on REE-containing alloys, REE-based magnetic substances, the beneficiation of various REE-bearing deposits, REE-based catalysts, REE phosphors in lighting applications, and much more.
