subject: Rare Earth Element- Terbium [print this page] Rare earth elements such as terbium, are a group of specialty metals, with a unique chemical, physical, and the characteristics of light. Technical applications for rare earth metals, in particular, green energy technologies, are greatly increased. Growth in demand for wind turbines, hybrid cars, and nuclear energy are experts in the field in both public and private sectors affected by the fact that demand for some of the rare earth metals will exceed supply within five years .
While terbium is a rare earth element is also a lanthanide and has many similarities to others in its class. (E Pluribus terbium, terbium out many) is soft, silvery metal, and has a strong affinity for oxygen, so much so I never found pure in nature. However, the material also differs from its cousins in other aspects lanthanides. It is an important component of Terfenol-D, an alloy that expands and contracts when exposed to magnetic fields. Terbium is being used in naval sonar systems and sensors.
Although applications for terbium are different, reliable sources for any component. Virtually all technology companies worldwide depend on China as the main source of terbium. China can be found in terbium ions absorbing clays in the southern region, which concentrates by about two-thirds the yield of about 1% of yttrium terbium.
Although the U.S. Department of Energy has formally expressed its concern over limited supplies of Chinese rare earth metals, as an alternative to these valuable features will be available soon. Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd has recently acquired 100% ownership of the worlds largest reserves of rare earth metals, such as Terbium, and is expected to start mining in the near future.
Few mining and exploration companies have the ability to successfully discover, develop and supply rare earth metals, such as Terbium. Today, Greenland Minerals and Energy, Ltd. is a leading mining company is currently preparing for state-of-the-art operation of the tip of Greenland. Investors can expect significant revenues, and minerals in Greenland and the source of energy, Ltd. The companies benefit from the development and excellent technical planning business smart.
Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd, is a mineral exploration and development company, focused on unlocking the mineral riches of Greenland, one of the worlds last natural resource frontiers. Our aim is simple; to identify large mineral deposits with the potential to underpin long term, economically robust mining operations.
