…#criticalminerals, such as #cobalt, #lithium, #gallium and #rareearth elements like #neodymium and #yttrium, are currently being discarded as tailings of other mineral streams like #gold and zinc…
"The challenge lies in recovery," Holley said. "It's like getting salt out of bread dough—we need to do a lot more research, development and policy to make the recovery of these critical minerals economically feasible."
A colossal impact 💥 during #Mars’ late accretion could explain the unusual amount of #rare metallic elements in Mars’ mantle https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/rare-metals-on-mars-and-earth-implicate-colossal-impacts
#Perseverance could detect traces of #yttrium, an element that, on Earth, is even rarer than #cerium https://artsci.washu.edu/ampersand/perseverance-rover-hunts-rare-earth-elements-mars ⚒️
Yttrium combined with cerium helps produce the bright white light that is common in LED technology.
A new method developed by Tokyo researchers significantly cuts the cost of producing low-oxygen titanium, promising broader industrial use once issues with yttrium contamination are resolved. Titanium ranks as the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, but products made from pure titan
Hey look it's pseudoregalia goatbun
