**Recycling Rare Earth Elements from
Waste Water Using Nano-Magnesium Hydroxide Particles**

  
Many of today's technologies, from hybrid car batteries to
flat-screen televisions, rely on materials known as rare earth
elements (REEs) that are in short supply, but scientists are
reporting development of a new method to recycle them from
wastewater.  
  
The process, which is described in a study in the journal ACS
Applied Materials & Interfaces, could help alleviate economic
and environmental pressures facing the REE industry.  
  
Zhang Lin and colleagues point out that REEs, such as terbium a a
silvery metal so soft it can be cut with a knife a behave in
unique ways as super magnets, catalysts or superconductors. That
makes them irreplaceable in many of today's tech gadgets and
machines. Market watchers expect global demand to rise to at least
185,000 tons by 2015. Although some of these elements are actually
plentiful, others are indeed in short supply. According to
reports, terbium and dysprosium supplies may only last another 30
years. Attempts so far to recycle them from industrial wastewater
are expensive or otherwise impractical. A major challenge is that
the elements are typically very diluted in these waters. The team
knew that a nanomaterial known as nano-magnesium hydroxide, or
nano-Mg(OH)2, was effective at removing some metals and dyes from
wastewater. So they set out to understand how the compound worked
and whether it would efficiently remove diluted REEs, as well.  
  
To test their idea, they produced inexpensive nano-Mg(OH)2
particles, whose shapes resemble flowers when viewed with a
high-power microscope. They showed that the material captured more
than 85 percent of the REEs that were diluted in wastewater in an
initial experiment mimicking real-world conditions. "Recycling
REEs from wastewater not only saves rare earth resources and
protects the environment, but also brings considerable economic
benefits," the researchers state. "The pilot-scale experiment
indicated that the self-supported flower-like nano-Mg(OH)2 had
great potential to recycle REEs from industrial wastewater."

Treatment of wastewater containing low-concentration yet
highly-expensive rare earth elements (REEs) is one of the vital
issues in the REEs separation and refining industry. In this work,
the interaction and related mechanism between self-supported
flowerlike nano-Mg(OH)2 and low-concentration REEs wastewater were
investigated. More than 99% REEs were successfully taken up by
nano-Mg(OH)2. Further analysis revealed that the REEs could be
collected on the surface of Mg(OH)2 as metal hydroxide
nanoparticles (<5 nm). An ion-exchange model was proposed as a
critical factor for both guaranteeing the reaction speed and
maintaining the self-supported structure of the materials. In
addition, a method was developed to further separate the
immobilized REEs and the residual magnesium hydroxide by varying
the solution pH. In a pilot-scale experiment, the REEs from
practical wastewater were immobilized effectively at a high flow
rate. We anticipate this work can provide a good example for the
recycling of valuable REEs in practical industrial applications.
