Abstract

The work evaluates, develops and demonstrates flexible, scalable mineral extraction technology for geothermal brines based upon solid phase sorbent materials with a specific focus upon rare earth elements (REEs). The selected organic and inorganic sorbent materials demonstrated high performance for collection of trace REEs, precious and valuable metals. The nanostructured materials typically performed better than commercially available sorbents. Data contains organic and inorganic sorbent removal efficiency, Sharkey Hot Springs (Idaho) water chemsitry analysis, and rare earth removal efficiency from select sorbents.

Advanced Sorbent Structure Recovery of REEs, Precious Metals and Other Valuable Metals from Geothermal Waters and Its Associated Technoeconomics

Dataset Addleman, Shane ; Chouyyok, Wilaiwan ; Palo, Daniel ; ...

This work evaluates, develops and demonstrates flexible, scalable mineral extraction technology for geothermal brines based upon solid phase sorbent materials with a specific focus upon rare earth elements (REEs). The selected organic and inorganic sorbent materials demonstrated high performance for collection of trace REEs, precious and valuable metals beyond commercially available sorbents. This report details the organic and inorganic sorbent uptake, performance, and collection efficiency results for La, Eu, Ho, Ag, Cu and Zn, as well as the characterization of these select sorbent materials. The report also contains estimated costs from an in-depth techno-economic analysis of a scaled up separationmore »« less
Recovery of Rare Earths, Precious Metals and other Critical Materials from Geothermal Waters with Advanced Sorbent Structures - CRADA 355 (Abstract)

Technical Report Addleman, Raymond S.

The ability to recover valuable trace level minerals from geothermal brines using high-performance solid-phase sorbents will be explored and developed. A compressive range of sorbent materials will be screened for application to metal extraction from geothermal brines. Preferred sorbents from extraction of trace levels of rare earths (REs), precious metals (PMs), and other critical/strategically valuable materials (CMs) such as Zn, Mn, Te, Sc, Se and U from geothermal brines will be identified. For the preferred sorbents PNNL will determine the volumes they are capable of providing efficient extraction from. The thermal and chemical limits (including, acid, sulfur, salt) for performancemore »« less
