Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 17 chemically similar elements found in the Earth's crust. Despite their name, they are not actually rare, but they are relatively scarce compared to other elements. The 17 rare earth elements include: • • • • Lanthanum (La) • • Cerium (Ce) • • Praseodymium (Pr) • • Neodymium (Nd) • • Promethium (Pm) • • Samarium (Sm) • • Europium (Eu) • • Gadolinium (Gd) • • Terbium (Tb) • • Dysprosium (Dy) • • Holmium (Ho) • • Erbium (Er) • • Thulium (Tm) • • Ytterbium (Yb) • • Lutetium (Lu) • • Scandium (Sc) • • Yttrium (Y) • • • These elements are known for their unique properties and play a crucial role in various modern technologies. They have diverse applications in electronics, magnets, catalysts, lasers, phosphors, and many other industries. Rare earth elements are vital for the production of high-tech devices such as smartphones, computers, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and energy-efficient lighting. • • • Despite their importance, rare earth elements are often challenging to extract and refine. They are typically found in low concentrations and are often mixed with other minerals, making their extraction complex and costly. China has been the dominant producer of rare earth elements for many years, but there are also deposits in other countries, including Australia, the United States, and several others. Efforts are being made to diversify the supply chain and reduce dependence on a single source. • • #Rareearth
