The Lehigh University Energy Research Center (ERC), in collaboration with BFTP client Applied Separations, Allentown, is conducting research to investigate the feasibility of a chelate-enhanced sCO2 method for Rare Earth Elements extraction from acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD is a metal-rich acidic wastewater byproduct from the coal mining industry. The project is carried out with support from Blaschak Coal Corporation, also a BFTP client.
