Abstract Two types of borosilicate leached SON68-type glasses were studied, one doped with uranium and the other with rare-earth element (Nd, Eu). Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties of U doped samples have been correlated to microscopic features of the corroded glass. Nuclear analysis, Electronic Microprobe and Scanning Electron Microscope investigations revealed the heterogeneous composition of the gels with differentiated phases. Enriched U phases (crystallised or not) and phosphorus precipitated phases in rare earth gel have been detected.

The reserve of rare-earth element-bearing phosphorite ores in Guizhou province in western China is huge. Increased demand for the different products manufactured from rare-earth elements has resulted in an extreme need for reasonable and comprehensive extraction of rare-earth elements. An improved understanding of rare-earth element occurrence states in single minerals of ores is important for their further processing. In this paper, rare-earth element contents were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and the occurrence states in single minerals were further investigated through SEM-EDS and focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) methods. The results indicate that rare-earth element contents of apatite are far more than that of dolomite. No independent mineral of rare-earth elements exists for the studied sample. Rare-earth elements are present in the form of ions in the lattices of apatite. Based on the analysis of occurrence states and properties in single minerals, the distribution of rare-earth elements in the flotation process was investigated by reverse flotation technology. It shows that rare-earth elements are mainly concentrated in apatite concentrate. Under the optimized conditions, the P2O5 grade increases from 11.36% in the raw ore to 26.04% in the concentrate, and the recovery is 81.92%, while the total rare-earth oxide grade increases from 0.09% to 0.21% with the recovery of 80.01%, which is similar to P2O5 recovery. This study presents the feasibility of extracting rare-earth elements from rare-earth element-bearing phosphorite ores through the flotation of apatite.

Nioboaeschynite-(Ce), ideally Ce(NbTi)O6[cerium(III) niobium(V) titanium(IV) hexaoxide; refined formula of the natural sample is Ca0.25Ce0.79(Nb1.14Ti0.86)O6], belongs to the aeschynite mineral group which is characterized by the general formulaAB2(O,OH)6, where eight-coordinatedAis a rare earth element, Ca, Th or Fe, and six-coordinatedBis Ti, Nb, Ta or W. The general structural feature of nioboaeschynite-(Ce) resembles that of the other members of the aeschynite group. It is characterized by edge-sharing dimers of [(Nb,Ti)O6] octahedra which share corners to form a three-dimensional framework, with theAsites located in channels parallel to thebaxis. The averageA—O andB—O bond lengths in nioboaeschynite-(Ce) are 2.471 and 1.993 Å, respectively. Moreover, another eight-coordinated site, designated as theCsite, is also located in the channels and is partially occupied byA-type cations. Additionally, the refinement revealed a splitting of theAsite, with Ca displaced slightly from Ce (0.266 Å apart), presumably resulting from the crystal-chemical differences between the Ce3+and Ca2+cations.

Two undeformed biotite granites recovered from exploratory hydrocarbon drill holes that penetrated basement in the Fort Simpson magnetic high were analyzed for U–Pb zircon geochronology and Sm–Nd isotopic composition. Both samples give crystallization ages of 1845 Ma, with errors of less than 5 Ma. This age overlaps with the waning stages of magmatism in the Great Bear magmatic zone of Wopmay Orogen, 200 km to the east. One sample has an initial εNd of +1.3 and a TDM of 2.14 Ga, whereas the other yielded an initial εNd of −2.1 and a TDM of 2.45 Ga. The latter sample indicates that Early Proterozoic light rare-earth element enriched lithosphere with a crustal history dating back to at least 2.45 Ga is present in the subsurface west of Wopmay Orogen.
