For example, bioleaching studies have seen success in extracting rare earth elements from the phosphor powder lining fluorescent globes, and the use of microorganisms to recycle rare earth elements from electronic wastes such as hard drive magnets. The rare earth elements are critical for the future of our technology. Biomining offers a way to
Rare earth elements (REE) are important components of modern communication, energy and medical technologies. Increased recovery, usage and disposal of these metals has led to increased environmental fluxes, but little is known about their potential impacts on natural or engineered ecosystems, including interactions with microorganisms involved in wastewater treatment. To investigate these
2012-11-01· In recent years, rare earth elements (REEs) have been widely used in various modern technological devices and the global demand for REE has been increasing. The increased demand for REEs has led to environmental exposure or water pollution from rare earth metal mines and various commercial products. Therefore, the development of a safe
In planetary astronomy and astrobiology, the Rare Earth hypothesis argues that the origin of life and the evolution of biological complexity such as sexually reproducing, multicellular organisms on Earth (and, subsequently, human intelligence) required an improbable combination of astrophysical and geological events and circumstances.
Extracting Rare Earths with Bacteria . Executive Summary . The mining, extracting, and recovery of lanthanides, or rare earth elements (REEs), is currently limited by the expense to separate the REEs from heterogeneous sources, their sparse distribution in the earth’s crust, and the toxic and radioactive waste products released from harsh extraction conditions. Currently, China sources 86%
leaching technologies, both past and present, used in primary REE production. Bastnaesite Bastnaesite is a rare earth fluorocarbonate mineral1, RE(CO3)F, which primarily contains light rare earth elements. After physical upgrading, bastnaesite ore concentrates contain between 40 to 60% REE2.
Canadian researchers have discovered a new kind of organism that’s so different from other living things that it doesn’t fit into the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, or any other kingdom
A microorganism, or microbe, is a microscopic organism, which may exist in its single-celled form or in a colony of cells.. The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from 6th century BC India and the 1st century BC book On Agriculture by Marcus Terentius Varro. Microbiology, the scientific study of microorganisms, began with
Rare Earth Elements and Microorganisms Pages 16 The use of rare earth elements (REEs) for many advanced technological applications remarkably increased in the last decades, and it was associated to an intensive extraction of such elements from their ores.
bioengineered rare earth-adsorbing bacteria, we have developed a biosorption technology that can be used for extracting rare earth elements from geofluids. Through selective adsorption of REEs on the cell surface, we observed effective REE recovery in a temperature-dependent manner. As a first step towards developing a modular, scalable

2016-03-23· The rare-earth elements are critical to many green energy technologies but are difficult to separate from one another because of their chemical similarity. We demonstrate an alternative, biogenic method based on the adsorption of lanthanide to the bacterium Roseobacter sp. AzwK-3b, immobilized on an assay filter, followed by subsequent desorption as a function of pH.
The removal of rare earth elements (REEs) from solution in various microorganisms was examined. Seventy-six strains from 69 species (22 bacteria, 20 actinomycetes, 18 fungi, and
Rare earth elements, a key for 21st century technology and industry. Rare earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium (Nd), which is a material required for producing powerful magnets that are essential for PC hard disks, CD players, and cellular phones, and cerium (Ce), which is used as an abrasive and phosphor in manufacturing liquid crystal panels, are very important for the development of 21st
