title: Sustainable recovery of rare earth elements from granite: A review of modern techniques
abstract: The extraction of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) is important for clean energy, electronics, and high-tech materials. While minerals like monazite and bastnäsite are the main sources, granite is also being studied as a backup source because it contains REE-rich minerals such as apatite, zircon, and allanite. But extracting REEs from granite is difficult due to its hardness, low REE content, and radioactive materials, which make separation and recovery more complex. This paper reviews different extra
