Processes Concentrating Critical Metals
The supply of rare metals has become a topic of great concern. Among others, scandium is required due to its technological interest. Lateritic deposits are promising targets. To understand their origin, I combine geochemical and mineralogical approaches at experimental and theoretical levels, from deposit- to molecular scale.
