source:TRELLISMicrosoft is expanding electronic waste collection from its data centers with a new initiative to recover rare earth elements and precious metals from hard drives without using acids.The program announced April 17 is a collaboration between drive maker Western Digital along with Critical Materials Recycling and PedalPoint Recycling. It aims to scale U.S. production of rare earth elements at a time when the world’s biggest supplier, China, has threatened to cut off exports amid an escalating global trade war. So far, the pilot has processed 50,000 pounds of obsolete drives c...

Fracture characteristics of rare-earth phosphate and silicate environmental barrier coatings under molten CMAS corrosion source:Scientific ReportsThe fracture characteristics of rare-earth phosphate (LuPO4) and silicate (Lu2SiO5) environmental barrier coating (EBC) materials under molten calcium–magnesium aluminosilicate (CMAS) corrosion are analyzed. EBCs are crucial for protecting SiC-based ceramic matrix composite components in the hot section of gas turbine engines. Recently the rare-earth phosphates as EBC materials have shown better performance than third-generation rare-earth silic...

Engineering Trap Distribution by Doping Rare Earth Ion for Mechanoluminescence Enhancement Mechanoluminescence materials exhibit fascinating optical properties due to their energy harvesting and controllable release capabilities. SrAl2O4:Eu2+ (SAOE) has been extensively studied as a traditional mechanoluminescence material, however, the luminescence intensity enhancement and the luminescence mechanism of its mechanoluminescence remain an unresolved issue, which hinders the development and widespread application of excellent phosphors. Herein, a promising rare earth (Re3+ = Sm3+, Dy3+, Er3...
