Cerium anomalies in lateritic profiles

TLDR
In this article, the geochemistry and mineralogy have been studied in four lateritic profiles, one derived from a syenite (Akongo, SW Cameroon), the others being developed on a gneissic basement and located along a soil toposequence (Goyoum, E Cameroon).

Scavenging of dissolved yttrium and rare earths by precipitating iron oxyhydroxide: experimental evidence for Ce oxidation, Y-Ho fractionation, and lanthanide tetrad effect

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental verification of a natural process that may produce the lanthanide tetrad effect in geological samples was performed at pH 3.6 to 6.2 with synthetic solutions containing dissolved Fe (≈7 mg/L), rare earths and Yttrium (ΣREY: ≈61 μg/L).

Geochemical characterization of the Luochuan loess-paleosol sequence, China, and paleoclimatic implications

TL;DR: In this paper, chemical (major and trace element) and isotopic (Sr, Nd) analyses of the Luochuan loess-paleosol sequence in China were performed in order to examine the following problems: (1) potential source heterogeneity; (2) element behavior during pedogenesis; (3) paleoclimatic implications; and (4) the use of loess data to determine the average composition of the upper continental crust.

The Aquatic Chemistry of Rare Earth Elements in Rivers and Estuaries

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of field and laboratory experiments highlights key features of rare earth element fractionation in major river systems is presented, showing that the dissolved pool of both rivers is highly HREE enriched with respect to the REE composition of their suspended particles.

REE fractionation during granite weathering and removal by waters and suspended loads: Sr and Nd isotopic evidence

TL;DR: In this article, ICP-MS and TIMS measurements were performed on both solid samples (fresh granite, soil, and suspended load of the stream) and waters (soil solutions, springwater, and streamwater) to determine their respective REE concentrations and Sr and Nd isotopic compositions.

Mobility and fractionation of rare earth elements during weathering of a granodiorite

TL;DR: The rare earth elements (REE) have been mobilised and fractionated during supracrustal alteration of the Torrongo granodiorite as mentioned in this paper, and the residual products are especially depleted in the heavy REE.

An in situ sampler for close interval pore water studies1

TL;DR: A sampler for defining compositional changes over distances on the order of 1 cm in aqueous systems operates by equilibration of water contained by a dialysis membrane with the surrounding water.

Rare-earth elements and uranium in high-temperature solutions from East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vent field (13 °N)

TL;DR: The mobility of rare-earth elements (REE) and U during hydrothermal alteration of the basalts at spreading centres has long been a matter of concern because of its bearing on the evolution and recycling of the oceanic crust.
