Rare Earths cover

Extraction and critical uses of rare earths in the 21st Century as determined by their occurrence, chemistry, physics and atomic structure.

High-technology and environmental applications of the rare-earth elements (REE) have grown dramatically in diversity and importance over the past four decades. This book provides a scientific understanding of rare earth properties and uses, present and future. It also points the way to efficient recycle of the rare earths in end-of-use products and efficient use of rare earths in new products. Scientists and students will appreciate the book's approach to the availability, structure and properties of rare earths and how they have led to myriad critical uses, present and future. Experts should buy this book to get an integrated picture of production and use (present and future) of rare earths and the science behind this picture. This book will prove valuable to.non-scientists as well in order to get an integrated picture of production and use of rare earths in the 21st Century, and the science behind this picture.

"This readable book takes you through mines, extraction plants, research labs, pilot plants, factories, and recycling plants, on four continents. Enjoy the journey!" --MRS Bulletin
