Comparison of Rare Earth Element Sorption Between Fresh and Partially Loaded Media Using Simulated Geothermal Brine
A study comparing the REE sorption characteristics of fresh ligand-based sorption media and media partially loaded with REEs when exposed to a simulated geothermal brine with known mineral concentrations, REE7. Sorption rates were tested using microcosm shaker tests. Results suggest that preferential REE sorption is greater for fresh media, but this preference differs between elements.
