Minerals in Afghanistan : gemstones of Afghanistan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Afghanistan and gemstones have been inextricably linked for 6500 years and the country remains rich in precious and semiprecious gemstone deposits (Figure 1). Lapis lazuli, mined in the Hindu Kush since the Neolithic Period, was transported along the

The effect of P2O5 on the viscosity of haplogranitic liquid [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The effect of P2O5 on the viscosity of a haplogranitic (K2O-Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2) liquid has been determined at 1 atm pressure in the temperature interval of 700 - 1650°C. Viscosity measurements of a haplogranite, haplogranite + 5.1 wt.% P2O5 and haplogranite

A New Concept for an Integrated Mapping of Rare‐Earth Elements using Laser–Induced Fluorescence and Reflectance Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
We introduce a new integrated line‐scan sensor system that combines hyperspectral and laser‐induced fluorescence imaging as a non‐invasive alternative characterization technique specifically suited for rare‐earth element (REE) mapping and identification. We investigate in detail the potential and limitations in comparison to state‐of‐the‐art approaches

Newly Discovered Triassic Lithium Deposits in the Dahongliutan Area, NorthWest China: A Case Study for the Detection of Lithium-Bearing Pegmatite Deposits in Rugged Terrains Using Remote-Sensing Data and Images

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Rare metals, such as lithium and cobalt used in rechargeable batteries, have increased in value as demands for them escalates. Concentrations of lithium-bearing minerals are found in closed-basin brines, granitic pegmatites, and associated granitic rocks

Heterostructure‐Engineered Conductive MOFs Coupled with MoSe2@MXene Framework for Efficient and Selective Lithium Extraction from Salt Lake Brine via Capacitive Deionization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
This schematic illustrates a capacitive deionization (CDI) system for the selective extraction of lithium from salt‐lake brine. The system employs a cathode fabricated from the Fe‐THBQ@MoSe2@MXene composite alongside an activated carbon (AC) anode. Upon applied voltage, the cathode demonstrates high efficiency in capturing Li+ ions while effectively ...
