Adsorption of Hydrated Pr<sup>3+</sup> and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>/Mg<sup>2+</sup> Ions onto the (001) Surface of Montmorillonite: A DFT Analysis with Experimental Verification

Montmorillonite is a major mineral present in ion-adsorption rare earth ores, and the microscopic adsorption states of rare earth ions on its surface are of a great significance for the efficient exploitation of ion-adsorption rare earth ores. In this article, density functional theory calculations...
