The dependence on international supplies of rare earth elements (REEs) have prompted the US to explore alternative sources and sustainable technologies for domestic REE production. One potential source is the secondary electronic and industrial wastes at the Department of Defense (DoD) complexes and across the US. These hazardous wastes require high costs for the maintenance and remediation, while their high-REE contents offer unique opportunities for REE recovery. However, current hydrometallurgical technologies for REE extraction are energy intensive and costly, with low REE recovery rate and the generation of toxic wastes. Thus, it is beneficial to develop environmentally friendly technologies for REE extraction and processing from the secondary wastes. This project aims to develop novel functionalized mesoporous carbon fiber (MCF) and silica for effective recovery of REEs from end-of-life NdFeB magnet scrap.
