This project will explore the mechanisms controlling the mobility of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in natural and engineered hydrothermal systems. The project will generate essential geochemical and thermodynamic data of important REE host minerals, and thereby significantly improve our capacity to quantify the behaviour of REE during complex ore-forming and hydrometallurgical processes. The anticipated outcomes include: facilitate discovery of new REE deposits by improving understanding of their formation; and facilitate optimisation and development of innovative techniques for REE ore processing. This knowledge and expertise will help Australia to become a world leader in supplying REE for the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

该项目将探索控制天然和工程热液系统中稀土元素（REE）流动性的机制。该项目将生成重要 REE 主矿物的重要地球化学和热力学数据，从而显着提高我们在复杂成矿和湿法冶金过程中量化 REE 行为的能力。预期成果包括： 通过增进对稀土矿床形成的了解，促进新稀土矿床的发现；促进稀土矿石加工创新技术的优化和开发。这些知识和专业知识将帮助澳大利亚成为稀土元素供应的世界领导者，以实现向碳中和经济的过渡。
