Rare earth elements (REY) are the lanthanide elements (Z = 57–71), which have an ever-growing occurrence in present-day industries, agriculture, and modern life. Consequently, environmental concentrations are expected to increase accordingly as a result of intensified utilization. Soils are an impor...
