source:Bradford EraPenn State researchers have developed a sensor to find a valuable and rare earth element, terbium, in samples drawn from the environment such as acid mine waste.Terbium is one of the rarest of the rare earth elements. It is used to produce the green color in cell phone displays as well as in high-efficiency lighting and solid-state devices.While there are a range of chemical, environmental and political challenges to obtaining terbium and other rare earth elements through existing methods, the elements are abundant in non-traditional sources in the United States, including c...

source:CNBCJakarta, CNBC Indonesia - RI punya banyak anugerah sumber daya alam seperti pertambangan. Beberapa sumber daya alam sektor pertambangan yang dimiliki Indonesia yakni nikel, emas, tembaga, batu bara, maupun timah.Namun selain itu, RI juga dianugerahi sumber alam pertambangan yang belum dikembangkan yakni logam tanah jarang (LTJ) atau Rare Earth Element. 'Harta karun'ini dinamai logam tanah jarang karena didasarkan pada asumsi yang menyatakan bahwa keberadaan logam tanah jarang ini tidak banyak dijumpai.LTJ ini melimpah dibandingkan dengan unsur lain dalam kerak bumi. Sumber d...

source:Laboratory EquipmentA new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn State, takes advantage of a protein that very specifically binds to rare earth elements and could be harnessed to help develop a domestic supply of these metals, which are used in technologies such as smart phones, electric car batteries, and energy efficient lighting. A paper describing the sensor appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.Terbium, one of the rarest of the rare ...
