“…One of Russia's key advantages in the development of its rare-earth metal mineral resource base is its rich resource potential, much of which is concentrated in the Arctic region [7,9,[21][22]. Domestic scientists have repeatedly emphasized the strategic importance of the Arctic territories in capacity as the main source of critically and strategically important minerals, including rare-earth metals [23][24][25].…”

At present, issues related to the development of rare-earth metal industrial complexes are becoming particularly relevant for Russia. Rare-earth metals (REMs) play a vital role in high technology. Therefore, success in technological progress largely depends on the availability of these metals. However, the country’s position remains uncertain – on the one hand, Russia possesses huge REM reserves, on the other hand, they are not exploited, and the existing level of import dependence of metals on supplies from foreign countries exceeds 80%. The main national REM reserves are in the Arctic region. Nevertheless, even rich deposits are still not exploited. This study aims to investigate the prospects for the development of REM industrial complexes in the Russian Arctic, taking into account both opportunities and constraints. The resource potential of REMs in the Russian Arctic is investigated, a comparative analysis of the characteristics of foreign and national REM objects is provided. The factors influencing the prospects of development of REM industrial raw material complexes are determined. Data on the main REM projects are systematized. The study makes it possible to draw some important conclusions about the current prospects for the development of rare-earth metal industrial raw materials complexes in the Russian Arctic.

“…It is for this reason that recently, more and more often in the media, one can find reports on research in the field of search and extraction of REMs from such potential sources as various industrial wastes, tailings and slags (for example, ash and slag dumps, phosphogypsum, red mud). A high value is given to deep-sea rocks and silts from the bottom of the southeastern and central parts of the Pacific Ocean, which, according to various estimates, may contain amounts comparable to or even exceeding continental reserves of REMs [ 9 , 10 ]. The third feature is that rare-earth ores contain radioactive thorium and uranium, the concentrations of which are very different for each rare-earth deposit.…”

The aim of the work is to study the effectiveness of a molecular imprinting technique application for the creation of highly selective macromolecular sorbents for selective sorption of light and heavy rare-earth metals (for example, samarium and gadolinium, respectively) with subsequent separation from each other. These sorbents seem to be promising due to the fact that only the target rare-earth metal will be sorbed owing to the fact that complementary cavities are formed during the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers. In other words, the advantage of the proposed macromolecules is the absence of accompanying sorption of metals with close chemical properties. Two types of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) were synthetized based on methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) functional monomers. The sorption properties (extraction degree, exchange capacity) of the MIPs were studied. The impact of template removal cycle count (from 20 to 35) on the sorption effectivity was studied. Laboratory experiments on selective sorption and separation of samarium and gadolinium from a model solution were carried out.
