Rare Earth Elements Processing, Catalytic Applications and Environmental Impact

Over the years, the uses and applications of rare earth elements (REEs) diversified in various fields such as catalysis, production of magnets, glasses, alloys, and electronics. This book consists of fifteen chapters, which present recent advances and outlook on REEs and their oxides/salts in catalytic organic transformations, biomedical applications, bioremediation and environmental impacts.

• Provides an overview of current extraction techniques and processing in industry.
• Discusses the catalytic applications of different rare earth elements in synthesis.
