High-precision geological and mineralogical characterization methods will guide the development and testing of several distinct hypothesis-driven extraction approaches for the nation’s largest lith

Leaching is the first step in chemically extracting rare earth elements (REEs) from mineral sources.

Rare earth element (REE) separations remain a grand challenge, accounting f

The ultimate objective of this project is to selectively recover gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) from zinc wastes of different sources.

This project is designed to integrate recovery of critical elements into total utilization of the huge phosphogypsum (PG) waste from phosphate mining with five major objectives: reduce radionuclide

This project will: develop improved approaches to sustainably extract PGMs (platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd)), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and precious metals (gold (Au) and silver (Ag)) from Se

The project will reduce the use of neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), and dysprosium (Dy) in permanent magnets using a nanostructure engineering approach.

The project aims for discovery and further development of a new permanent magnet materials that will compete with the current technologies, i.e., neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets and/or samariu

This project will use systems level modeling and prototyping as means for developing alternatives or substitutes for rare earth elements (REE).
