Rare earth elements (REEs) have undergone a steady spread in several industrial, agriculture and medical applications. With the aim of exploring a sensitive and reliable indicator of estimating exposure level to REEs, a simple, accurate and specific ICP-MS method for simultaneous direct quantification of 15 REEs ((89)Y, (139)La, (140)Ce, (141)Pr, (146)Nd, (147)Sm, (153)Eu, (157)Gd, (159)Tb, (16...

Introduction Mark A. Rees examined South Louisiana identity and its relationship to the le Grand Derangement. In his investigation of the Armand Broussard homesite he concludes that there is a tangible connection of the built historical landscape of Acadiana to the cultural impacts of displacement (Rees 2008, 252). He also suggests that Acadian culture should be seen in a context of assimilatio...

A semigroup variety is a Rees-Sushkevich variety if it is contained in a periodic variety generated by 0-simple semigroups. The collection of all permutative combinatorial Rees-Sushkevich varieties constitutes an incomplete lattice that does not contain the complete join J of all its varieties. The objective of this article is to investigate the subvarieties of J. It is shown that J is locally ...

8-Hydroxyquinoline immobilized on polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber membrane was synthesized and used for the preconcentration of rare earth elements (REEs) and the separation of the matrix in seawater prior to their determination by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Both the capacity and chemical stability of the modified polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber membrane have been eval...

this study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (ree) recoveries from iron mine waste. the electron microprobe showed that high amoun...
