Biochemically, P participates in key genetic, metabolic, and constitutive reactions and processes that are essential for sustaining all organisms, from bacteria to humans [2, 15]. In contrast to these essential elements, another group of minerals, the rare earth elements (REEs), is not essential for life, nevertheless, these elements have important roles to play in health and the environment. They are much less abundant than the essential elements and do not participate in biological reactions [6, but see 18, 42]. However, like P, they are regarded as critical economic resources (Fig. 9.1). Over the last few years, new applications directly involving P and REEs have been proposed and marketed, and these will be discussed in this chapter.
