NGRI Scientists Found the Presence of Light Rare Earth Elements

Scientists | Amaravati/Hyderabad, April 9 (Maxim News): CSIR – National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) scientists found the presence of Light Rare Earth elements (REE), key components in many electronic devices, and various industrial applications such as medical technology, aerospace, and defense in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.

NGRI senior principal scientist Dr. P.V. Sunder Raju said, “We discovered highly anomalous (enriched) Light Rare Earth Elements in whole rock analysis, validating the minerals that constrain these REEs.

Manufacturing of permanent magnets is the primary and most significant use of REEs, Modern electronics, including those in smartphones, televisions, computers, cars, wind turbines, jet aircraft, and many more items, rely heavily on permanent magnets. REEs are frequently utilized in high-tech and “green” items due to their luminescent and catalytic properties, said Dr. P.V. Sunder Raju.

He further added, “Europe will need up to 26 times more rare earth metals in 2050 than it does today to achieve net zero. Because of digitalization, demand is also rising. “Deep drilling lasting longer than at least one kilometer will be done to figure out the consistency of REE presence at depth.

The REEs were discovered as part of a study funded by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-India) under the SHORE (Shallow subsurface imaging of India for Resource Exploration) project. (Maxim News)
