New research led by scientists at Penn State and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) demonstrates how a protein isolated from bacteria can provide a more environmentally friendly way to extract these metals and to separate them from other metals and from each other. The method could eventually be scaled up to help develop a domestic supply of rare earth metals from industrial waste and electronics due to be recycled.\u00a0&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-10-environmentally-friendly-method-rare-earth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">New, environmentally friendly method to extract and separate rare earth elements<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new method improves the extraction and separation of rare earth elements\u2014a group of 17 elements critical for technologies such as smart phones and electric car batteries\u2014from unconventional sources.
