Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The recovery of critical raw materials from spent uranium In-situ recovery (ISR) deposits offers an attractive strategy for improving resource efficiency and supporting the circular economy.This study investigates the mineralogical controls, extraction behavior, and leaching kinetics of Rare earth elements (REEs), Scandium (Sc), Vanadium (V), Rhenium (Re), and Selenium (Se) during acid-
