Abstract

High concentrations of rare, trace, and rare-earth elements, which cannot exist outside the sphere of long-term active technogenesis, have been determined in the highly transformed anthropogenic water of the sulfide (ore) and sulfidized (coal and ore) deposits characterized by the sulfuric acid environment. It has been established that many deposits of the traditional raw materials can be considered rare metal water pools (liquid ore accumulations) because of high rare-earth element (REE) concentrations in water in the case of a sulfuric hydrolysis and stable anthropogenic water flow rates. The environment-controlling systems of anthropogenic solutions have been substantiated, the boundaries of the inorganic forms of element transportation have been determined, and the degrees of hydration of these elements and the geoenvironmental consequences have been studied.
