Rare Earth Elements in Zhijin Phosphorite by Alexandra Milena Ulloa Pinilla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Zhijin phosphorite deposit in SW China is a significant early Cambrian rare earth element (REE) deposit, primarily composed of francolite grains that contain heavy REEs. Detailed studies reveal that the francolite grains formed in an anoxic hydrothermal sedimentary environment, capturing abundant REEs during early diagenesis, with the source traced back to paleo-seawater. The research provides insights into the geological processes and conditions that led to the enrichment of REEs in this deposit, which
