It is well known that the rare earth elements (REEs) incorporated in the crystal lattice of sedimentary apatite are commonly derived from ambient seawater. This study documents, for the first time, the possibility of mixed origin of apatite REEs present in the Egyptian Western Desert phosphorites, known as the AbuTartur phosphorites, one of the most important accumulations of sedimentary ...
Key words: Leaching, Apatite, Rare Earth Elements, Regression INTRODUCTION Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of elements with atomic numbers 57 through 71. Yttrium with atomic number 39 is included with the rare earth elements because it often occurs with them in nature and has similar chemical properties [1]. The most common rare earth elements containing minerals are .
· Typically, the highest δ 37 Cl values in lunar apatite are observed within lithologies such as the Mgsuite, potassium/rareearth elements/phosphorus (KREEP)rich basalts and impact lithologies, which have largely been explained in terms of a primeval KREEP (urKREEP) component [residual melt of lunar magma ocean ] with a characteristically high δ 37 Cl value (2, 3).
Apatite Dissolution Monazite Organic acids Rare earth elements Yttrium The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effects of aliphatic and aromatic low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on rare earth element and yttrium (REY) release from the phosphate minerals apatite and monazite. Since prior studies have shown that redox status can affect REY partitioning during ...

· LAICPMS analysis for trace and rare earth elements of apatite. The trace and rare earth element concentrations of apatite were measured in the same lab as UPb zircon dating but using a 193 nm Excimer ArF laser ablation system. The standards used include NIST SRM 612 (to correct for signal drift) and the international basalt glass ...

It is thus crucial to combine in situ analysis of water abundances and hydrogen isotope 60 composition with detailed contextual petrographic information. 61 62 The Chang'E5 (CE5 ...
Rareearth elements have been determined by massspectrometric isotope dilution in 16 samples. Chondritenormalized rareearth element patterns are distinct for each volcanic center, but all are relatively flat (Ce/ = to ). Within each center, rareearth element concentrations increase from basalt to dacite, and Eu anomalies become progressively more negative from basalt to dacite ...
· Rare earth elements (REE) and phosphorus (P) in apatite were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) after partial dissolution of the granitic rocks and pure apatite. The dissolution was performed with nitric acid in an open system and the matrix elements were separated by a ion exchange procedure. Samples of pure apatite from .
Variations in Zr, rare earth elements and Rb/Nb indie fractional crystallization and significant coupled crustal assimilation away from the Deccan plume center . The Zr variation near the plume center can be explained through only fractional crystallization without the involvement of crust. AFC modelling of available SrNd isotope data requires very high and unreasonable amounts of crustal ...

Rare earth elements are used in hundreds of unique enduses and appliions that collectively fall into one of eight enduse egories: 1.) Battery Alloys, 2.) Catalysts, 3.) Ceramics, Pigments and Glazes, 4.) Glass Polishing Powders and Additives, 5.) Metallurgy and Alloys, 6.) Permanent Magnets, 7.) Phosphors, and 8.) Other EndUses and Appliions (see Figure 2).

Apatite grains in lunar mare basalts contain hydrogen that ranges in D/H ratio by more than a factor of two. For most of these basalts, the D/H ratios in their apatite grains decrease with measures of the host basalts' time spent at elevated temperature, specifically the FeMg homogenization of their pyroxenes. Most basalts with homogeneous pyroxenes (, with constant Fe/Mg ratio) have ...
Arc basalts display distinctive trace element signatures that include marked enrichment of Pb, large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to high field strength elements (HFSE) and heavy rare earth elements (HREE). Many of these elements are not significantly fractionated from each other during mantle melting and subsequent differentiation. Therefore ...
