Substitution of rare earths using nanotechnology
Substitution of rare earths with the help of nanotechnology The demand for high-performance materials is growing rapidly. Since many raw materials are becoming scarce, Siemens experts are also working on strategies for their substitution - for example using nanotechnology. Green products are on the rise, such as permanent magnets for generators in wind turbines. They are based on rare earth metals, a group of elements in the periodic table, [...]

Coveted metals from old lamps
Bernd Schlupeck scientists in Saxony have developed a chemical process to obtain rare earths inexpensively from fluorescent sludge from lamp production and fluorescent powder from old tubes. Rare earths are not necessarily rare, but often expensive raw materials that are used in almost all high-tech products. "So, this is now the stirred tank where the phosphors are processed." Peter Fröhlich, [...]

gold Property
Copper, cobalt, rare earths: At the bottom of the deep sea there are treasures that actually only need to be recovered. But the costs and consequences are unclear. From Alexander's forehead The gold lies on the floor. You just have to find it. And mill out. And suck in. And bring them to the surface of the sea, cart them ashore, separate, clean, process. And then […]

How short are our metal raw materials?
Researchers determine supply risk for 62 important elements Whether gallium, chromium or rare earths - many metals are indispensable for modern technology. In the most comprehensive analysis to date, researchers have now determined the criticality of 62 elements where there is a threat of supply bottlenecks or shortages. As it shows, the supply risk is particularly high for metals, which [...]

Researchers can filter rare earths from sewage
German middle class news | December 15.12.14, 21, 33:XNUMX pm Scientists want to recycle valuable substances such as rare earths with the help of algae. To do this, they filter industrial wastewater from spoil heaps. The metal ions of the valuable raw materials dock on the surface of the microalgae. Rare earths are used to manufacture high technology products such as smartphones and tablets. Scientists from the Friedrich Alexander University (FAU) gain the elements [...]

No iPhone without rare earths. Fluctuating commodity prices are causing problems for companies
by Simon Frost Modern industries and high technology are not possible without raw materials such as rare earths. Even if prices are currently falling, the risks for companies remain. This is also due to the countries of origin. The prices for raw materials will also fluctuate sharply in the coming years. Despite recently falling costs for numerous industrial and precious metals as well as for crude oil, the [...]
