The essential biological role of rare earth elements lay hidden until the discovery in 2011
that lanthanides are specifically incorporated into a bacterial methanol dehydrogenase. Only …

Technologically critical rare-earth elements are notoriously difficult to separate, owing to
their subtle differences in ionic radius and coordination number,–. The natural lanthanide …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical materials in electronics and clean technologies. With
the diminishing of easily accessible minerals for mining, the REE recovery from waste is an …

The extraction and subsequent separation of individual rare earth elements (REEs) from
REE-bearing feedstocks represent a challenging yet essential task for the growth and …

There is urgent, unprecedented demand for critical by-product and co-product metallic
elements for the infrastructure (magnets, batteries, catalysts and electronics) needed to …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are irreplaceable materials supporting low-carbon technology
and equipment, and their commercial demand and strategic position are becoming …

End-of-life light-emitting diodes are electronic waste containing valuable and critical metals
