Extraction Kinetics of Rare Earth Elements from Ion-Adsorbed Underclays

Citric acid has been identified as an environmentally sustainable organic acid capable of leaching up to ~30% of easily accessible REEs from underclay material. An analysis of the leaching profiles was performed to discern the reaction rates, extraction efficiencies, and potential leaching mechanism...
