LDRD-2022-00108: Biomining Rare Earth Elements
- Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), Aiken, SC (United States)
Rare earth elements (REEs) are crucial to many high-tech devices and maintaining a competitive modern economy, thus they are of critical and strategic importance. Currently, mining approaches include rock grinding, strong acid or base extraction, separation, and concentration. The objective of this project was to develop cost-effective, environmentally friendly technologies for bioextracting REEs from mined materials.
