Geochemical characteristics and migration patterns of rare earth

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 15 elements with atomic numbers ranging from 57 (lanthanum, La) to 71 (lutetium, Lu). They are commonly found together in the Earth's crust due to their trivalent charge (REEs 3+) and similar ionic radii.Each REE has its unique properties, and as the atomic number increases, an electron is added to the incomplete …
