  • Rare Earth Element and Yttrium Mineral Occurences in the Adirondack Mountains Marian V
    6 RARE EARTH ELEMENT AND YTTRIUM MINERAL OCCURENCES IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS MARIAN V. LUPULESCU,1 JEFFREY R. CHIARENZELLI,2 AND JARED SINGER3 1. Research and Collections, New York State Museum, Albany, NY 12230, [email protected] 2. Department of Geosciences, St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY 13617 3. Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY 12180 KEYWORDS: Rare Earth Elements, Yttrium, Lyon Mountain Granite, Iron Deposits, Eastern Adirondack Highlands INTRODUCTION The rare earth elements (REE), formally called lanthanides, are a set of fifteen chemical elements, from lanthanum (La) to lutetium (Lu). Yttrium (Y) is added to this group because it has similar properties and occurs in the same mineral deposits. These elements are divided into low-atomic number, lanthanum to europium (La-Eu), or light rare earth elements (LREE), and heavy-atomic number, gadolinium to lutetium (Gd-Lu), or heavy rare earth elements (HREE). Even though they are called “rare,” they are widely distributed in the Earth’s crust and are present in all types of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Some of the REE have abundances (relative amount of an element in the Earth’s crust) comparable or higher than gold, mercury, tungsten, tin, arsenic, copper, cobalt, and zinc (Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 2016). In geology research, REE are used to understand earth processes such as crystal fractionation, partial melting, magma mixing, and absolute age dating of minerals. The REE have high-tech industrial applications and are essential for making hybrid cars, computers, smartphones, color TV, lasers, ceramics, and military devices. For this reason, the United States Geological Survey identified the rare earth element dysprosium as one of the most critical elements in the 2010 Critical Materials Strategy 80 THE ADIRONDACK JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES VOLUME 21 81 6: RARE EARTH ELEMENT AND YTTRIUM MINERAL OCCURENCES IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS report.

Based upon available literature, we demonstrate the trends in crystallographic unit cell parameters, thermal stability, aqueous solubility, and thermochemical properties. These trends can be attributed to both the unique chemistry and strong similarity of the rare earth elements. There are also inconsistent trends that signal research needs to better understand the structure–energy relationships of the rare earth carbonates. Keywords: thermodynamic properties; rare-earth carbonates; property correlations; normal carbonates; hydroxycarbonates 1. Introduction The rare earth elements have made their way into many aspects of modern life. From the gasoline in automobiles, the ubiquitous mobile phones, speakers, lights, to energy production, the rare earth elements are indispensable to current standards of living and technology.

LE BAS Department of Geology, University of Southampton, Southampton Oceanography Centre, Southampton, SO14 3ZH ABSTRACT Carbonatitesfrom the Khibina Alkaline Massif (360 ­ 380Ma), Kola Peninsula, Russia, contain one of themost diverse assemblages of REE mineralsdescribed thus far from carbonatites and provide an excellentopportunity to track the evolution of late-stage carbonatites and their sub-solidus (secondary) changes.Twelverare earth minerals have been analysed in detail and compared with literature analyses.Theseminerals include some common to carbonatites (e .g.Ca-rare-earthfluocarbonates and ancylite-(Ce))plus burbankite and carbocernaite and some very rare Ba, REE fluocarbonates. Overall the REE patternschange from light rare earth-enriched in the earliest carbonatites to heavy rareearth-enriched in the late carbonate-zeolite veins, an evolution which is thought to reflect the increasing ‘carbohydrothermal’ natureof the rock-forming fluid .Manyof the carbonatites have been subjectto sub-solidus metasomatic processes whose products include hexagonal prismatic pseudo- morphsof ancylite-(Ce) or synchysite-(Ce), strontianite and baryte after burbankite and carbocernaite . Themetasomatic processes cause little change in the rare earth patterns and it isthought that they took placesoon after emplacement .

External Editor: Jacque Emel Received: 30 June 2014; in revised form: 17 October 2014 / Accepted: 20 October 2014 / Published: 29 October 2014 Abstract: Rare earths are used in the renewable energy technologies such as wind turbines, batteries, catalysts and electric cars. Current mining, processing and sustainability aspects have been described in this paper. Rare earth availability is undergoing a temporary decline due mainly to quotas being imposed by the Chinese government on export and action taken against illegal mining operations. The reduction in availability coupled with increasing demand has led to increased prices for rare earths. Although the prices have come down recently, this situation is likely to be volatile until material becomes available from new sources or formerly closed mines are reopened. Although the number of identified deposits in the world is close to a thousand, there are only a handful of actual operating mines.
