We have developed an energy-efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly process to recover high-value critical materials. Through the patented process, magnets are dissolved in nitric acid, and the solution is continuously fed through a module supporting polymer membranes. That’s a huge missed opportunity considering 2.2

We found that the beetle’s gut is structured to allow unique microbial communities to coexist, allowing each to perform the distinct specific metabolic processes needed to efficiently extract energy from wood. The energy derived from the wood allows the beetle to sustain itself and its offspring on an otherwise very poor diet.

Demand for the element is so great for applications including electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and stationary energy units, that lithium mining companies are struggling to keep up. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.
