The composition of the present-day upper crust, inferred from the uniformity of sedimentary rock r.e.e. (rare earth element) patterns, is close to that of granodiorite. A revised `andesite' model is used to obtain total crustal composition. The lower crust is the composition remaining, assumi...

Earth - Core, Mantle, Crust: More than 90 percent of Earth’s mass is composed of iron, oxygen, silicon, and magnesium, elements that can form the crystalline minerals known as silicates. Nevertheless, in chemical and mineralogical composition, as in phy
Solvent extraction of individual REE is a complex task due to the fact that these elements have similar physical and chemical properties; many extractable ions are in solutions, so a considerable number of separation steps are usually needed to produce a purified individual lanthanide element [42]....
Earth's chemical composition Oxygen is the most abundant element in rocks in Earth's crust, composing roughly 47 percent of the weight of all rock. The second most abundant element is silicon, at 27 percent, followed by aluminum, at 8 percent; iron, at 5%; calcium, at 4%; and sodium,...
The present invention also provides a luminous composition comprising the fluorescent substance and a light-emitting element using the substance. The fluorescent substance comprises a rare earth metal and a phosphine oxide ligand which coordinates to said rare earth metal and said ligand containing at ...

L. Geological respiration of a mountain belt revealed by the trace element rhenium. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 403, 27–36 (2014). Developed a new proxy that enables measurement of petrogenic carbon-oxidation fluxes at the scale of river catchments and found a link between oxidation fluxes and...
gene knockouts likely cause a cascade of effects on other genes resulting in changes to multiple binding sites. Gene disruptions can also have confounding effects unrelated to REE binding site composition. It is possible that some gene disruptions impact the shape of the bacteria or perhaps the opt...
