experimental situations. In some cases it may still be necessary to perform a primary separation from the bulk material, but there should be no need for individual separations of all elements of interest. The analyses of minerals and rare earth element mixtures are particularly interesting in this regard, and experiments are now in progress to investigate these systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
