Developing biotechnologies for detection and recovery of Rare Earth Elements
This grant aims to enhance methods for recovering rare earth elements (REE) from sources like crushed ore and e-waste using innovative microbes. The project focuses on three main objectives:
- Increasing the selectivity and affinity of biomolecules for REE by creating semi-synthetic platforms for lanthanide-binding, improving the ability to concentrate these elements.
- Devel…
This project will develop novel microbes with increased capability to dissolve and capture REE from solid sources such as crushed ore and e-waste. The project will also examine approaches to increase the selectivity and affinity of biomolecules for different REE. Additionally, the project will i…
