Extraction of Rare Earth Metals: The New Thermodynamic Considerations Toward Process Hydrometallurgy

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Andrea Testino, Ajay Bhagwan Patil

Successful management of secondary waste resources is essential for the viable circular economy. E-waste could serve as the potential urban mining source for the alternative supply chain of critical metals such as rare earth elements (REEs). The hydrometal ...

Large-scale regionalised LCA shows that plant-based fat spreads have a lower climate, land occupation and water scarcity impact than dairy butter

Xun Liao

Purpose In light of the sustainable diet debate, we conducted a large-scale regionalised LCA to answer the following questions: (i) does the climate advantage hypothesis of plant-based fat spreads and creams over dairy butter and cream hold regardless of t ...
