As they discard their cellphones, Americans are throwing away nearly $200 million in unrecovered gold every year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The problem until now has been a lack of affordable or environmentally friendly recycling options. An alternative, less toxic process developed at Idaho National Laboratory may offer a way to affordably recover precious metals from electronic devices, according to a recently published analysis.
To recycle batteries, CMI created a way that consumes electricity instead of chemicals to transform crushed batteries to a concentrated mixture well suited to separation into materials for new batteries. This method is flexible, and efficient. It can be used with different types of batteries, and pulls out more than 97 percent of the lithium, cobalt, copper, manganese, iron and nickel.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered that applying vibrational motion in a periodic manner may be the key to preventing dissipations of the desired electron states that would make advanced quantum computing and spintronics possible.
A Congressional delegation will be visiting Ames Laboratory on Monday, Feb. 24.
