The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University, for a project titled "RAISE: CET: ZWITTERIONIC MEMBRANES FOR RARE EARTH ELEMENT (REE) SEPARATIONS." The project aims to design novel membrane materials featuring nanoscale structures, inspired by biological pores, that can selectively enrich and separate rare earth elements (REEs). Researchers will use...
This NSF Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems award provides $100,000 to the University of Texas at Austin from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project will create cloud-based open science tools for curation and analysis of geomaterial image data, which will benefit geoscientists as well as a wider community working on diverse porous materials. The tools will be deployed with training and...
This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the development of a novel "REESPECT" (Rare Earth Element-Selective Protein-Hydrogels to Enable Cation Trapping) platform for efficient and selective extraction and separation of rare earth elements (REEs) from recycling feedstocks. The research, led by the University of Pennsylvania, aims to create hydrogel materials containing engineered protein fibrils with...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Mark Caddick at Virginia Tech. The research, professional development, and outreach activities focus on constraining the mobility of rare earth elements (REEs) in subduction zones. The research aims to test hypotheses about the sequestration and mobilization of REEs during subduction processes, using a forward model...
This $289,851 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program supports research at the University of Delaware that aims to develop new pathways for the recovery and recycling of rare-earth elements (REEs). The project focuses on investigating the formation and properties of high-temperature REE-sulfate liquids, with the goal of advancing alternative REE extraction and separation technologies that could enable more circular manufacturing...
The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research, Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program, under the CFDA program "Mathematical and Physical Sciences." The award, titled "EAGER: CET: Functionalized Graphene for Sustainable Rare Earth Metal Separation," supports fundamental research to develop innovative hybrid nanomaterials that can effectively extract and separate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $180,189 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Washington and Lee University. The grant, effective August 15, 2024, with a projected completion date of July 31, 2027, will support collaborative research to investigate the potential for extracting rare earth elements and yttrium from acid mine drainage using biotic and abiotic hydrous manganese oxides. The research aims to identify optimal conditions for concentrating...
This five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation totals $455,937 and aims to advance understanding of lanthanide-extractant complex solutions across liquid-liquid interfaces. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the award supports research at the University of Nevada, Reno from July 2021 through June 2026. The project aims to solve the molecular structure of complexes that form between rare earth elements and extractants used to separate lanthanides, providing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant, with a total funding amount of $296,901.00 awarded on September 1, 2023, supports a systematic investigation of sorption mechanisms of light rare-earth elements (REEs) on iron oxides at Oklahoma State University. The key objectives are to elucidate how mineral structure, crystallinity, morphology, and interfacial dynamics affect REE sorption at mineral-water interfaces, which is critical for predicting the occurrence and formation...
