Scandium: Ore deposits, the pivotal role of magmatic enrichment and ...
Scandium has much smaller ionic radius ( Shannon, 1976) and shows different geological behaviors from the other REEs in many aspects (e.g. Norman and Haskin, 1968, Jaireth et al., 2014 ), which may account for the negligible concentrations of Sc in some newly discovered REEs deposits ( Williams-Jones and Vasyukova, 2018 ).
