Research includes for a card from a family if they already have a card from that developing more e icient and environmentally-friendly same family in their hand. ways to process REE deposits, and working on metrics to compare deposit characteristics.

The chemical similarity of the rare earths arises from a common ionic configuration of their valence electrons, as the filling f-orbitals are buried in an inner core and generally do not engage in bonding. The term “rare earths” is a misnome r—these elements are not rare (except for radioactive promethium). They were named as such because they were found in unusual minerals, and because they were difficult to separate from one another by ordinary chemical manipula - tions.

  • Towards the Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from End-Of-Life Products: Hydrometallurgical Routes and Mathematical Modelling of Extraction Systems
    Chemical Engineering Department PhD Program: Chemical Processes Engineering TOWARDS THE RECOVERY OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS FROM END-OF-LIFE PRODUCTS: HYDROMETALLURGICAL ROUTES AND MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF EXTRACTION SYSTEMS Author: Eleonora Obón Estrada Director: Dr. Ana Maria Sastre Requena Codiretor: Dr. Agustín Fortuny Sanromà Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB) Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, July 2019 Thesis presented to obtain the qualification of Doctor awarded by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya II Abstract The rare earth elements (REEs) are essential ingredients for the development of modern industry and the transition to a more sustainable economy model. The unique physicochemical features of these elements, such as their magnetism and optical properties, are greatly expanding their application. They have become key elements for the manufacture of many ordinary consumer goods like hybrid cars, fluorescent lamps or electronic devices like mobile phones or tablets. The growing popularity of the rare earth elements derivatives is leading to an increase in the global demand and the price of these elements. Unfortunately, the current availability of these resources is limited due to three main factors: their heterogeneous geological location, their low concentration in the ores, and the environmental issues related with their mining. All these disadvantages concerning the supply of the rare earth elements have led to the study of new techniques to obtain them, such as the recycling of end- of-life products. Recycling of REEs arises as a new secondary source of supply of REEs, especially in Europe where large amounts of technological waste are generated every year. Currently, the recycling of rare earth elements represents less than 1% of the global supply.

Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7072-2 This thesis summarizes and discusses the results of several individual studies on the solvation of metal ions in the solvent N,N’-dimethylpropyleneurea, DMPU, including the iron(II), iron(III), zinc(II), cadmium(II), and lanthanoid(III) ions. These studies have shown that the solvation process in DMPU is sometimes very different to those in corresponding aqueous systems. This is due to the the space-demanding properties the DMPU molecule has when coordinating to metal ions, with its two methyl groups close to the coordinating oxygen atom. The methyl groups effectively hinder/hamper the metal ion from reaching the coordination numbers present in hydrate and solvate complexes with solvent molecules with much lower spatial demands. The investigations were performed with different X-ray techniques, including extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), large angle X-ray scattering (LAXS), and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and included both studies in solution (EXAFS and LAXS) and solid state (EXAFS and XRD). A coordination number reduction, compared to the corresponding hydrates, was found in all of the studied systems, except cadmium(II).

  • Politics and Nationalism in the Naming of Chemical Elements
    Names 39.3 (September 1991) Politics and Nationalism in the NaIDing of ChelDical Elements Henri Diament Abstract The naming of chemical elements, whether discovered in antiquity or during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries or, more recently, artificially produced in laboratories, has typically been politically motivated. Names from geographical entities, such as nation-sUltes, reflect nationalism, regionalism, or municipal pride. Nationalism also plays a role when elements are named for famous people. A new system, designed by chemists to name newly produced elements on a mnemonic basis, is also politically motivated, because it is designed to do away with international squabbles in naming, but it is unwieldy and subject to potential ridicule. ***** In a book rather far removed from the realm of chemistry, but much closer to onomastics even though not dealing with it directly, Walter J. Ong states something chemists have known for a long time but names researchers may not have fully considered in the past: ... names do give human beings power over what they name: without learning a vast store of names, one is simply powerless to understand, for example, chemistry and to practice chemical engineering. And so with all other intellectual knowledge. (33) A similar point could be made for medical, architectural, or any number of other nomenclatures. But, as we shall see, chemical nomenclature is rather sui generis. In this instance, onomastics is a bridge between the "two cultures," the humanities and science. The field of chemistry beats all records as regards the sheer number of names it has to deal with. Organic compounds, for instance, far more numerous than inorganic ones, number anywhere between one and several million items: "N amen ffir Millionen Individuen," as one German popularizer of chemistry has entitled the section of his book dealing with nomenclature (Rudolph 91).
