Abstract While the rare earth elements (REE) have largely contributed to the understanding of some internal geological processes, their use as tracers of superficial mechanisms (i.e., weathering and elements transport) remains tricky. This results from the poor knowledge we have of the REE distribution in the different fractions of solutions. Up to recently, the studies carried out on the REE behavior in continental aquatic systems were mainly based on the “paniculate” and “solution” fractions separated by an arbitrary filtration through a 0.20 or 0.45 μm pore size membrane. Some recent work has shown, using ultrafiltration experiments, that REE are mainly contained in the colloidal fraction (i.e., 0.20 μm - 1 nm). However, studies devoted to the control of REE by the colloidal matter, have essentially focused on the organic pool (i.e., humic substances). By contrast, the mineral colloidal pool has received little attention. In order to model these processes, we have developed a combined approach that consider (1) ultrafiltration experiments performed on a series of rivers located in Africa (Cameroon) and south America (Brazil, Venezuela) and (2) speciation calculations. This quantitative approach reveals, for the first time, that more than 60 % of the total REE in the solution of river waters is controlled by the mineral colloidal pool.

Different grain-size fractions of samples collected from shales were investigated to determine the role of late diagenetic grade and mineralogy on the rare earth elements (REE) distribution. The samples were collected from Upper Cretaceous varicoloured shales of the Sicilide Unit near the Corleto Perticara villages, Southern Apennines (Italy). The mineralogical and chemical composition of the sample’s five fractions (>63, 32–63, 2–32, 0.1–2, and <0.1 µm) was studied. The data indicate that certain accessory minerals are more important than clay minerals in controlling the REE distribution. In particular, zircon controls the distribution of earth elements in the 0.1–2 µm fraction and is an efficient mechanism in determining the concentration and distribution of REEs in the studied shales.
