Rare Earth Element Recycling Technology Development at Texas A&M University

awarded

Researchers at Texas A&M University, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, are developing a more efficient way to recycle rare earth elements from electronic scrap using a technology called solid-phase extraction. The project aims to recover rare earths like neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium from used devices and circuit boards to reduce reliance on foreign imports.
