Welcome to my site! We have the Rare Metal information that you are looking for.
What are the effects of having rare earth metals removed from the earth?
The most direct affect comes when these minerals a surface mined. This creates a huge scar on the surface that is very disruptive to the environment.
Subsurface mining obviously doesn't have that problem.
The real problems come into effect when the minerals containing the metals that you're looking for begin the serious extracting and refining process. Many (perhaps most, or even all) refining methods will, eventually, involve some kind of acid wash. Acid mine drainage is a serious problem, because of lackluster pollution control measures. These acids will directly kill off vegetation, contaminate groudwater so that it sickens or kills animals who live in or drink it. It can even get into a major aquifer, where it can threaten human health unless remediation (or other) measures are taken to keep it out of the water supply.
Water is always used somewhere in the process. This needs to be cleaned before returning to where it came from - something the companies often fail to do.
Even just mechanical separation and smelting techniques can cause pollution depending on how and where the excess material is disposed of.
The rare earth metals themselves are not a problem. It's the refining and purification process that's the problem.

Rare Earth Transition Metal Borocarbides (Nitrides): Superconducting, $228.97 The quaternary rare-earth transition-metal borocarbides are a new class of magnetic superconductors, discovered in 1994. The book contains a detailed description of the theoretical approaches used to explain the properties of these systems, with their intriguing array of magnetic and superconducting properties. The borocarbides are located in their context among the other magnetic or superconducting systems, especially the magnetic superconductors, and the book shows how our understanding has grown impressively due to the combination of a wide range of high quality samples and advanced measurement techniques. A number of important aspects nevertheless remain to be investigated, and these are outlined especially in the last part of the book. |

Stairway to the Stars: Live and Rare $17.98 How sad it is that the words "live" and "rare" have become so devalued over the years, until their mere presence in a CD title is sufficient to send you running for cover. And how sad that the memory of the Sweet has been so besmirched by a flood of tawdry compilations and re-recordings, that their "new" releases, too, leave the heart unmoved. All of which renders Stairway to the Stars: Live and Rare the kind of album that only the most desperate fan could really be expecting miracles from, and he ought to have most of its contents already. Rounding up over 30 tracks, the bulk of every other "live" and "rare" Sweet CD to have appeared since the late '80s, Stairway offers a workmanlike selection of marginally alternate takes, B-sides and offcuts, all dating from the latter part of the band's '70s career, and sometimes even later. The in concert selections are stronger, beginning with highlights from the show first released as Ballroom Blitz 1973, but unless you really need to be bludgeoned by their heavy metal ambitions, even that's a dispensable treat. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide |

Transition Metal and Rare Earth Compounds: Excited States, Transitions $181.38 Transition metal and rare earth compounds are investigated intensively because of important questions concerning fundamental research problems. More recently also their enormous potential for the development of new materials for photophysical and photochemical applications has been explored. Thus, it is important to focus on a deeper understanding of the elctronic energies, transition prohabilities, intermolecular interactions, etc.. This task has been accomplished by leading researchers in the field. They present introductions into, but also detailed reviews of the current state of knowledge of three different subjects. |

Quiet Riot - Live & Rare Vol. 1 [5/19] $20.55 Personnel: Kevin DuBrow (vocals); Bob Steffan (guitar); Chuck Wright (bass guitar); Frankie Banali (drums, percussion).Many (all?) heavy metal fans will agree that Quiet Riot`s peak occurred during 1983 and 1984, when the quartet`s mugs were constantly plastered all over MTV, and Metal Health and Condition Critical were two of the genre`s top sellers. As a result, it seemed inevitable that a "rarities" set that focused specifically on those years would emerge, and in 2005 Live and Rare, Vol. 1 appeared. On the one hand, there`s no denying the party atmosphere the band cooks up on such live tracks as "Let`s Get Crazy" and "Metal Health" -- you can easily imagine an arena filled with finger-less glove/headband wearing, mullet-sporting headbangers whooping it up. But on the other hand, the live tracks aren`t that remarkably different from the studio versions on the two original albums. Regardless, many a metal-loving youth of the era will get a kick out of this trip down memory lane. There are several rarities here, including the studio outtakes "Danger Zone" and "Gonna Have a Riot," as well a trio of demos from Metal Health, which shows the group had the songs down pat before entering the studio. And judging from the album`s title, it`s only a matter of time until further volumes of Quiet Riot rarities surface (hopefully they`ll go easy on the Paul Shortino era). ~ Greg Prato Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
