Wwe present a simple, environmental-friendly, cost-efficient method for the synthesis of Ce carbonates and #cerianite with tailored structures and chemistries. We also found out why cerianite is associated with REE-carbonates and how it forms in nature. Image: cerianite crystals.

The study sheds light of the occurrence and behaviour of Ce carbonates and cerianite in natural deposits. The findings also have implications for biomedical research (cerianite is a promising material in biomedical research due to its antioxidant properties). Image: Ce-carbonates

Funding for this study comes from "Frontiers for the Future" program by @scienceirel and Geological Survey IE, and the Trinity College Dublin's Provost PhD Awards program. Also Geological Survey IE funded the purchase of a new FTIR instrument (in the picture) that has been used to analyse some of the samples.

My PhD student Adrienn M. Szucs (Adrienn Maria Szucs) just passed her viva with minor corrections. Her research focuses on the interaction of #rareearths with Ca-Mg #carbonate #minerals. Results show beautiful #crystallisation reactions and mineral replacement processes. Awesome work.

Congratulations to Dr. Niamh Faulkner (Niamh Faulkner) as she has passed her viva with minor corrections. Great discussion about the effect of multicomponent solutions on the crystallisation of divalent carbonates. #proudsupervisor School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin On The Rocks iCRAG Centre
