OSU team develops process to clean coal mine drainage and extract rare earth elements

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 4, 2023

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel process to clean coal mine drainage and extract rare-earth elements from it. Coal mine drainage (CMD) impairs tens of thousands of kilometers of U.S. CMD, coal mine drainage; TEP, trap-extract-precipitate. —Miranda et al. Miranda et al.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2009

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. These wells have been producing coalbed methane and water since 2004. Monitoring the quality of groundwater and stream water.
