Rare earth co-doping of erbium with optically inactive ytterbium or lanthanum ions was investigated in silica fibers for resonant pumping of amplifiers and lasers. The co-dopants are optically inactive when pumped at 1475 nm and therefore their main role is to reduce erbium clustering in solution-doped fibers. We have demonstrated increased efficiencies compared to fibers where no co-dopants ...

HOUSTON, Texas - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), along with Senate colleagues, on Friday urged Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, to support the development of a fully domestic rare earths supply chain and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign minerals that are critical for manufacturing our defense technologies and supporting our national security.

DARPA launches new rare earth project to reduce reliance on China. By Jaspreet Gill / September 9, 2021 at 10:59 AM Tweet; The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has launched a new biomining-related project aimed at extracting rare earth elements and reducing U.S. dependence on China, the global leader in rare earth metals.

Things are like this. Recently, Adamas Business Company said that China will reduce its rare earth production in the second half of this year and will control it at 45,000 tons. According to data tracking in previous years, this will be the lowest point of China's rare earth production in more than five years.

"Anything we can do to reduce the global/U.S. dependency of rare earth elements on China is a big deal," Prakash B. Malla, director of research and development at …

In addition to the stronger bond that rare earth elements deliver, these naturally occurring elements offer other benefits. First, the two active ingredients in Neo WaterFX 300 (formerly RE300) are the most common of all rare earth elements: cerium and lanthanum, elements 57 and 58. Both elements have a high molecular weight.

Rare Earth Technology 3 • Rare earth elements are located in the lanthanide series (plus Sc and Y) of the periodic table • Most prominently known for high strength, permanent magnets • Unique reactivity with oxyanions, such as phosphate

Rare earths refer to 17 chemical elements with atomic numbers 57–71, 21, and 39. Their two subfamilies, one scarcer and hence more valuable than the other, have similar chemistries, so they're generally found and mined together. Despite their name, rare earths are not geologically rare but are widely dispersed throughout the Earth's crust.

"Anything we can do to reduce the global/U.S. dependency of rare earth elements on China is a big deal," Prakash B. Malla, director of research and development at the Thiele Kaolin Co., told ...

Our research shows that installing just 1 gigawatt of wind capacity to replace coal on a grid like that in Texas reduces total mining by 25 million metric tons over 20 years. That includes not just the extraction of ores for steel, copper, rare earths and other materials, but all earth moved in the process, including overburden and waste.

The rare-earth elements, also called the rare-earth metals or (in context) rare-earth oxides, or the lanthanides (though yttrium and scandium are usually included as rare-earths) are a set of 17 nearly-indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare-earth elements because they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and ...

Automakers Reduce Use of Rare Earth Magnets Details Category: tungsten's News Published on Saturday, 24 July 2021 17:06 China is the largest output country of rare earths, and the rare earth magnets are the critical components to provide the power for electric engines. As tensions between China and the United States intensify, Western automakers are ...

Rare-earth elements are those with atomic numbers between lanthanum (57) and lutetium (71). Scandium and yttrium are often considered REs because they share some properties. For a primer on rare earths' electronic properties, see the Quick Study by Jianshi Zhou and Greg Fiete, Physics Today, January 2020, page 66.

Importers made limited efforts to reduce rare earth consumption and dependence on China after a diplomatic dispute between China and Japan in 2010. Japan accused China of halting rare earth ...

High prices also caused manufacturers to do three things: 1) seek ways to reduce the amount of rare earth elements needed to produce each of their products; 2) seek alternative materials to use in place of rare earth elements; and, 3) develop alternative products that do not require rare earth elements.

Rare-earth magnet recycling could reduce the need to mine for more resources, leading to more sustainable data centers.

A method of analysis of geological materials for the determination of the rare-earth elements using the Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric technique (ICP-MS) has been developed. Instrumental parameters and factors affecting analytical results have been first studied and then optimized. Samples are analyzed directly following an acid digestion, without the need for separation or ...

Magnets containing rare-earth elements are among the most powerful available, allowing many everyday objects to be ever smaller. But rare-earth elements can be difficult to obtain, given either their scarcity or the challenging geopolitical climates of some of the nations where they are mined.

Rare earth chlorides and oxychlorides can be reduced to substantially pure rare earth metals by a novel, high yield, metallothermic process. The rare earth chloride feedstock is dispersed in a vessel (22) containing a suitable molten chloride salt bath (44) and a molten metal collection pool (43). Enough sodium, potassium and/or calcium is added to the bath (44) to produce a stoichiometric ...

The large amounts of rare earths used in green energy mean that significant price increases in REEs would result in large price increases in green tech. Due to use of REEs in many major manufacturing techniques, and their presence in many consumer electronics, it is certain that decrease in supply would affect prices across a wide range of sectors.
