Advanced Sorbent Structure Recovery of Rare Earths, Precious Metals and Other Critical Materials from Geothermal Waters and Its Associated Technoeconomics
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 (silica and MOF) demonstrated high performance for …
