Kainosite is a relatively rare mineral belonging to the sorosilicate group. Its chemical formula is typically expressed as Ca2(Y, Ce)2Si4O11(OH)·2H2O. This mineral is characterized by its complex chemical composition and its occurrence in metamorphic rocks. Kainosite is often found in association with other rare earth minerals, making it a subject of interest for geologists and material scientists.
Lab-on-a-Chip
The revolution of REE processing is getting smaller. “Lab-on-a-Chip” (LoC) technology is transforming how we analyze specimens by miniaturizing entire laboratory processes onto a single device. This approach allows for real-time monitoring of chemical reactions while reducing reagents and waste. For tpak.ca, LoC represents a leap toward sustainable mineralogy. By simulating complex extraction environments in … Read more
