DOE Critical Materials Institute rare-earth recycling invention licensed to US Rare Earths

Green Car Congress

The membrane solvent extraction system, invented by CMI partners Oak Ridge and Idaho national laboratories, is the first commercially licensed technology developed through the CMI. The recycling of critical materials from electronic waste has been limited by processing technologies that are inefficient, costly and environmentally hazardous.
