Changes in the priority areas of financing in the field of subsurface use and their widespread reorientation to the search for alternative sources of raw materials which could ensure the development of modern high-tech industries are the promising direction for the country's growth in sustainable development conditions and Green Energy Transition. And at the moment the only resource that can ensure safe progress in the future and plays an important role in today's technological development is rare earth elements (REE). Within the framework of this study information on the current state of awareness about the REE mining prospects in Ukraine was analyzed and generalized; the systematization and updating of available data on quantitative and qualitative REE ore occurrences and deposits characteristics and their geological and industrial parameters was done; the main obstacles / barriers to the active mining development on these objects of potential extraction were identified. The obtained ranking results of domestic deposits and REE manifestations prove the expediency of investing in geological exploration and mining operations conducted in certain areas, which are identified as the most attractive for further industrial development and generally emphasize the prospects of the studied area and justify the need in intensification of selected rare earth objects field development.

In the context of restrictions due to the sanctions imposed, a key factor in the country's development is the development of new Russian high-tech materials and their production technologies. The study of ash and slag waste from the Kemerovo State District Power Plant was carried out in this work using the methods of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It has been established that matrix elements make up the predominant share of ash and slag waste. Rare and rare earth elements in terms of their content are classified as trace elements, however, some of them either have commercial values, or are close to it.

Many kinds of rare earth elements (REE) such as europium and cerium have been make them essential elements in many high-tech components. The electrochemical studies can be presented as an interesting indication for europium and cerium extraction from phosphoric solutions, including solvation and complexation reactions. The normal redox potentials of Eu3+/Eu2+ and Ce4+/Ce3+ systems have been determined in H3PO4-H2O media with various phosphoric acid concentration. The solvation of these elements in phosphoric media is characterized by their transfer activity coefficients "f" calculated from the corresponding normal redox potentials. The corresponding solvation increases with increasing the H3PO4 concentration. For each REE, the electrochemical properties depend on its number of charges and on its basic properties. Results suggest that solvation and complexation of REE phosphates are important in controlling REE concentration.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-6.0%Zn-0.5%Zr (ZK60) and ZK60-2.0%Nd-1.0%Y alloys after extrusion, rolling and then T5 and T6 heat-treatment were investigated. The hardness and tensile strength at T5 and T6 condition were tested. The results show that the mechanical properties of ZK60--2.0%Nd-1.0%Y alloy are superior to that of ZK60 alloy. The hardness of the investigated alloy at T5 condition is higher than at T6. The strengthening of ZK60-2.0%Nd-1.0%Y alloy originates from the interaction of phase and dislocations. The precipitation order of ZK60-2.0%Nd-1.0%Y alloy is GP zone . The magnesium alloy contains rare earth elements with good casting performance, great potential for plastic deformation, high strength, excellent mechanical properties and many other advantages. The magnesium alloy oversaturation solid solution's decomposition process conforms to time the common alloy oversaturation solid solution decomposition order rule, often namely before separating out the equilibrium phase presents some transitional stage the structure, like the GP area, the transition are equal, but the different series magnesium alloy presents the different characteristic, therefore uses the heat treatment method also has big difference [1-5].

Hoidas Lake lies in the Northern Rae Geological Province, in the general vicinity of many of Saskatchewan's large uranium mines. The mineralogy of the Hoidas Lake rare-earth deposit differs from most other such deposits in that it is hosted in equal abundance in veins containing apatite and allanite mineral groups. Hoidas Lake also differs from other deposits in that it contains a significant amount of heavy rare-earth elements, such as dysprosium. This abundance of heavy Rare Earth Elements (REE’s) is significant, as there is a growing demand for the heavier rare earths in high-tech manufacturing (such as the use of dysprosium in the manufacturing of hybrid car components). Recently, metallurgical testing was performed on a Hoidas Lake REE deposit composite. These investigations included characterization, flotation testing, heavy media separation, magnetic separation testing, whole ore leaching studies, bond work index grindability testing, and relative abrasion index testing. This paper summarizes this research effort.

Introduction. To date, rare earth elements (REE) are used to manufacture most high-tech goods and are crucial in defense technologies (lasers, radars, and electromagnetic weapons), nuclear engineering, metallurgy, and others. All this determines the relevance of their study to assess the rare earth mineral resource base of Ukraine. Problem Statement. The determination of REE in rocks and minerals is a fundamental problem in geochemistry and petrology for understanding the processes of rock formation. However, it is a complex analytical task related to the similar chemical properties of these elements, which are caused by the "lanthanide compression effect". Purpose. The purpose is to develop analytical technologies for determining REE content by the ICP-MS method, to evaluate their content and distribution in granitoids of the Ukrainian Shield. Materials and Methods. The hybrid method of ICP-MS analysis and microwave decomposition of rocks and minerals has been used to measure the REE content. This technique has been tested and used to estimate the content and distribution of REE in fluorites and rare-metal granitoids of the Rusko-Polyanskyi massif of the Korsun-Novomirgorod pluton of the Ukrainian Shield. Results. Analytical technologies for determination of REE in granites and minerals have been developed. The method for determining REE in fluorites and granites without their prior concentration in the range from 0.01 to 1000 ppm with a relative standard deviation of 0.01–0.10 has been described. The content of rare earth elements in the Rusko-Polianskyi granites increases (218–797 g/t), the main concentrator of these elements is fluorite (692–26933 g/t REE). An inverse relationship has been observed between the REE content in fluorites and granites. Conclusions. The developed analytical technologies are the basis for establishing quality assessment criteria and developing principles for the rational use of rare-earth granitoids to create a rare-earth mineral resource base in Ukraine.

Strategically critical elements are becoming significant for the rising demand of emerging energy-efficient technologies and high-tech applications. These critical elements are mostly geologically dispersed, and mainly recovered from recycled materials. Coal with high concentrations of critical elements is supposed to stable alternative sources. The abundances of critical elements in coal varies widely among different deposits and regions. The high concentrations of critical elements are found in many Chinese and Russian coal ores. The global mining potential ratio (MPR) is applied and suggests scandium, hafnium, cesium, yttrium, germanium, gallium, thallium, strontium and rare-earth elements could be potential recovery from coal. A number of benefits are expected with the extraction of critical elements during coal utilization.
