source:Industry WeekNew processing methods developed by MIT researchers could help ease looming shortages of the essential metals that power everything from phones to automotive batteries, by making it easier to separate these rare metals from mining ores and recycled materials.Selective adjustments within a chemical process called sulfidation allowed professor of metallurgy Antoine Allanore and graduate student Caspar Stinn to successfully target and separate rare metals, such as the cobalt in a lithium-ion battery, from mixed-metal materials.As they report in the journal Nature, their proces...

source:The GleanerIf the world is to have a shot at becoming carbon neutral by 2050 and keep the rise in earth’s temperature to below the tipping point of 1.5⁰ Celsius by the end of the century, it has to involve, scientists say, a massive shift to renewable energy, including people giving up their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for electric-powered ones.Jamaica could probably have a significant hand in this, as well as re-emerge as a strategic player in the global market for minerals, such as it enjoyed in the days when it was the world’s largest producer of bauxite. But for any of...
