Sampling and Characterization of Coal Basins as an Alternative Rare-Earth Element Resource
- Univ. of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND (United States). Energy & Environmental Research Center
Conference presentation at TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo, Washington, D.C., June 13–15, 2022. The University of North Dakota (UND) through the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) and the Institute for Energy Studies teamed with the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research, Microbeam Technologies Inc., the Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS), the North Dakota Geological Survey (NDGS), and the mining industry to execute a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to obtain and characterize samples of U.S. domestic precombustion coal and coal-related materials with a minimum concentration of 300 parts per million (ppm) total rare-earth elements (TREEs) as the material is removed from the ground, with no processing other than drying.
