Batch adsorption experiments were conducted in the laboratory to examine the adsorption behavior of the 14 naturally occurring lanthanides plus yttrium (Y) onto deep Pacific Ocean sediments and synthetic goethite (α-FeOOH). The focus was on the interactions that govern rare earth element (REE) and Y retention in natural environments. Our results demonstrate preferential adsorption of middle REEs (MREEs) and heavy REEs (HREEs) onto goethite compared to light REEs (LREEs), with yttrium showing ads...
Show moreREE = Rare Earth Elements
LREE = Light Rare Earth Elements (lighter lanthanides from Lanthanum to Samarium)
MREE = Middle Rare Earth Elements (elements like Europium and Gadolinium)
HREE = Heavy Rare Earth Elements (heavier lanthanides from Terbium to Lutetium, plus Yttrium)
REY = Rare Earth Yttrium Elements
