PROSPECTIVE RARE METALS

By Ph.D. Natalia Petrovskaya

If you ask each of us: "What metals are the most


expensive?", then most likely we will respond: "Gold,
platinum and silver, for sure." Indeed, it is so historically.
Noble metals are the most expensive.

However, life changes the "Metal Forbes list". Today in


the market more and more popular are Rare Metals - metals
with amazing properties and relatively low content in ores.
These metals are used for the manufacturing of high-tech
products, each - in its field of technology.

In my opinion, the most promising the


following Rare Metals:

Rare Light Metals: Beryllium, Lithium

Refractory Metals: Niobium, Tantalum, Titanium,


Zirconium, Hafnium, Rhenium

Trace Metals: Gallium, Indium, Germanium,


Hafnium, Rhenium

Rare Earth Metal: Scandium, Europium, Terbium,


Dysprosium, Neodymium, Cerium, Lanthanum,
Yttrium

Radioactive Metals: Uranium, Thorium
