The demand for valuable metals such as rare earth elements and platinum group metals is
rising fast in the context of the depletion of natural resources and international conflicts …

Scandium is a critical metal in increasing demand for modern technologies, such as light-
weight aluminum-scandium alloys. Evaluating current and identifying new sources of the …

Strategic elements, such as rare earth elements, play a critical part in industry, especially in
the production of high-tech materials. Major global industries developed a strong …

As the similar properties of Sc and Zr, their mutual separation is difficult and Zr is one of the
main impurity elements in high purity Sc 2 O 3 which should be strictly controlled. A novel …

Recovery of scandium (Sc) from various wastes is generally one strategy to solve potential
supply shortage problems of Sc. This work proposes a synergistic process for co-recovery of …

In this work, a novel silica-based N-donor ligand functional adsorbent (SiVpC) is prepared
by in situ polymerization for the efficient separation of palladium from high level liquid waste …

Palladium, as a member of platinum group metals, has very little reserve in nature. It usually
plays a role in corrosion resistance in the electroplating industry, and is easily discharged …

To separate palladium (Pd) from electroplating wastewater, a novel mesoporous ion-
exchange resin (SiAcyl) was prepared with the loading rate of 27.3 wt% and the cross …

For effective adsorption and separation of precious rare metal scandium (Sc) from waste
water, a new bifunctional magnetic bentonite material was prepared, named bentonite/CoFe …

General guidelines for the design of ligands for the enrichment of rare-earth elements by
solid–liquid adsorption are described using coordination chemistry. Relevant properties of …
