The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $677,554 Project Grant to The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089). The grant supports research and development of a novel supercritical fluid extraction and enrichment process to directly recover rare earth elements from solid coal-based resources. The project will be conducted at The Washington University's facilities in University City, Missouri and is expected to be completed by April 30, 2027. As a leading research institution with extensive expertise in federal research and development, The Washington University will leverage its scientific and technical capabilities in materials science, engineering, and energy technologies to advance this critical minerals extraction process.
