Mobility of the rare earth elements with acid rainwater leaching in the soil column
China is abundant in rare earth elements (REEs) resources. REEs have been extensively used in industry and agriculture for many years. As a result, more and more REEs are moving into environment. They may accumulate in soil, bioaccumulate in crops, or enter the groundwater. Due to its increasing exp...

Summary: | China is abundant in rare earth elements (REEs) resources. REEs have been extensively used in industry and agriculture for many years. As a result, more and more REEs are moving into environment. They may accumulate in soil, bioaccumulate in crops, or enter the groundwater. Due to its increasing exposure and potential harm to environment, the transportation, transformation, fate and environmental effect of the exogenous REEs should be studied carefully to predict or assess their threats to environment in China. |
