With some of the most useful rare earths feared to be depleted within the next 50 years, scientists are racing against time to develop technologies to maximise their full potential as well as what could remain of them. Scientists are now specifically trying to establish a method to recycle rare earths from wastewater. A group of Chinese researchers led by Zhang Lin, in a study published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, said if successful, the process "could help alleviate economic and environmental pressures facing the REE industry."..............................................Full Article: Source
