Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Rare Earth Extraction explores the critical role of rare earth elements (REEs) in modern technology and green initiatives, emphasizing the environmental and geopolitical challenges associated with their extraction. These elements are essential for smartphones, wind turbines, and electric vehicles; however, their mining and refining processes pose significant environmental risks. The book highlights how current practices, if unchecked, could hinder the global transition to sustainable energy due to reliance on limited suppliers and environmentally damaging extraction methods.

The book takes a holistic approach, integrating technological, environmental, and geopolitical perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the REE supply chain. It progresses by first introducing REE properties and applications, then delves into mining processes and their environmental consequences, like habitat destruction and water contamination. A significant portion focuses on refining processes and the hazardous byproducts they produce, followed by discussions on technological advancements and policy recommendations for responsible REE management. This approach allows readers to grasp the complexities of REE extraction and the need for sustainable solutions.
