A team led by Kanazawa University in Japan has developed a cleaner method for the recycling of several rare earths (REs) such as yttrium (Y) and europium (Eu) used as phosphors in fluorescent lamps (FLs). These are already used to remove toxic metals from solid waste. Credit: Kanazawa University. Mashio, Teruya Maki, Ismail M.M.
