source：Mining.comResearchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a simple method for recovering rare earth elements from coal fly ash using an ionic liquid and avoiding hazardous materials. In a paper published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the scientists explain that ionic liquids are considered to be environmentally benign and are reusable. One in particular, betainium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or [Hbet][Tf2N], selectively dissolves rare-earth oxides over other metal oxides. According to the scientists, the ionic liquid also uniqu...
