History and Future of Rare Earth Elements
The rare earths are 17 metallic elements, located in the middle of the periodic table (atomic numbers 21, 39, and 57–71). These metals have unusual fluorescent, conductive, and magnetic properties—which make them very useful when alloyed, or mixed, in small quantities with more common metals such as iron. Geologically speaking, the rare ...

Rare earths | Institute for Rare Earths and Metals
Taken together, rare earths are the 22nd most common "element" (at the 68th percentile mark). The non-lanthanide rare earth elements yttrium and scandium are the 29th and 44th in their abundance. Lanthanum and the light lanthanides (cerium by europium) are more abundant than the heavy lanthanides (gadolinium by lutetium). Thus, the individual ...

Start – Rare Earths Info Page
Rare earths must be understood in light of their history and the beginnings of their extraction.. They are called rare because in the past it was assumed that the metals in this group were rare. In fact, some of the raw materials are not rare at all. Cerium, for example, is as common as copper or nickel. They are earths, because rare earths used to be …

The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's crust at 60 parts per million, to thulium and lutetium, the least abundant rare-earth elements at about 0. ...
Rare Earth Elements
Overview. The rare earth elements (REEs) are comprised of the lanthanide elements plus scandium and yttrium, which have similar physical properties and are often found in the same ores and deposits. Specifically, REEs include the light REEs (LREEs) such as lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, and the heavy …
Rare Earth Properties
The rare earths share many common properties. This makes them difficult to separate or even distinguish from each other. There are very small differences in solubility and complex formation between the rare earths. The rare earth metals naturally occur together in minerals (e.g., monazite is a mixed rare earth phosphate). ...
