West Virginia University (WVU) researchers are opening a new facility to capture rare earth elements (REEs) from acid mine drainage (AMD) from coal mining. Conventional rare-earth recovery methods require an expensive, difficult and messy extraction process that generates large volumes of contaminated waste.
