Researchers discover eggshell waste can recover rare earth elements from water for green energy technologies.
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin and iCRAG discover that eggshell waste can recover rare earth elements (REEs), essential for green energy technologies, from water. This new, sustainable method involves calcium carbonate in eggshells absorbing and separating REEs. The findings, published in ACS Omega, aim to address the increasing demand for REEs in electric cars and wind turbines.
