 Catalysts, fluorescent lighting, glass
mirrors
DESCRIPTION
A new solution to recycle rare eath elements (RREs) from
industrial wastes with a high selectivity has been found out.
This process, performed easily and with a low cost, relies on the
use of multicomponent assembled architectures, assembling
and disassembling upon CO2 adjunction, and capable of
capturing rare metals on a reversible manner. It provides a high
efficiency solution to supply these critical raw materials,
notably to European Union where recycling solution are known
to address only 1% of the needs.
