Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industry. However, due to the highly similar physicochemical properties among REEs, their separation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, REEs often exist in low‐concentration solutions, making efficient REE recovery an urgent task.

Implementing nickel phytomining in a serpentine quarry in NW Spain [PDF]
Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2019 In Galicia (NW Spain), ultramafic outcrops represent approximately 5% of the land surface and several mining and quarrying activities take place in these areas. Resulting mine-soils present physical, chemical and biological properties which limit plant growth and soil functioning.
