Kaolinite is the primary mineral in ion-adsorption rare earth ores, and improving our understanding of the adsorption state of REEs on kaolinite will benefit efforts to leach REEs from these ores. In order to explain why Eu ions exhibit stronger pH-dependent desorption behavior than Lu, molecular dynamics simulations were applied to investigate the adsorption mechanism of Eu and Lu on a deprotonated kaolinite (001) surface. The simulation results show that the hydration numbers of Eu and Lu are comparable, whereas the ordering degree of water molecules around Eu is higher than that of Lu, which is beneficial to the movement of Eu to preferentially occupy favorable adsorption sites on the kaolinite surface, following which coordination bonds are formed between Eu and the surface. As a result, the desorption rate of Eu decreases sharply with the increase in leaching pH, while the desorption rate of Lu is only slightly affected by pH.

This study aimed to synthesize cetuximab (CTX) conjugated hydroxyapatite zirconium (HApZr-CTX) as a nanocarrier for active delivery of photosensitizer and therapeutic radionuclide. The system enabled targeted radioenhancer in X-ray dynamic therapy and radioimmunotherapy for lung cancer. The results showed that HApZr-CTX had the main characteristics of hydroxyapatite crystal in X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), with particle size twice bigger, according to DLS-PSA and TEM measurements.

FeP (iron phosphide) alloys have garnered significant interest in recent years due to their potential applications in permanent magnet materials, particularly in the context of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. We have sought to tailor the magnetic properties, such as magnetization, coercivity, and Curie temperature, to meet the specific requirements of rare-earth-free permanent magnets for various industrial sectors. In this work, we review recent advancements in the exploration of substitutions (Si, Co, Mn, and Ni) within Fe2P alloys aimed at enhancing their magnetic performance as candidates for permanent magnets.

To enhance the mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance of bridge steel, three distinct groups of test steels with varying Ce contents were formulated. The objective was to investigate the influence of rare earth Ce on the microstructure, impact performance, and corrosion resistance of bridge steel. The addition of rare earth elements improves both the impact performance and the corrosion resistance of bridge steels.
