The ongoing energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies could have contrasting effects on African economies, particularly through increased extrac- tion of metals critical to this transition. This paper describes the opportunities and challenges posed by the development of...

This paper explores the development of a collaborative and customer-centric business model for sustainable innovation in rare earth magnet recycling. Rare earth elements have become crucial to various electronics and renewable energy systems. Due to their fnite nature and the supply risk they...

The European Union (EU) is aiming to strengthen its cooperation with like-minded countries to secure its supply of so-called critical raw materials. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen considers Canada a "perfect match" - a resource-rich and reliable partner that shares the EU’s...

Although China has become a major trading partner of the EU, the EU-China relationship has deteriorated over the last decade. This has been demonstrated, for example, by disputes over trade issues, unequal treatment of EU investors by Beijing, frictions over the transfer of intellectual...

The transition to a low-carbon energy future requires large amounts of many raw materials. Some of these materials are deemed critical in terms of their limited availability, concentrated supply chain networks, associated environmental impact, and various social issues. Acknowledging the...

Zukunftstechnologien, wie Elektromotoren und Windkraft-Turbinen, enthalten wertvolle selteneMetalle, deren Recycling einen wichtigen Schritt zu einer grünen Kreislaufwirtschaft darstellenwürde. Doch ein Aufbau von Lieferketten für recycelte Metalle ist mit Schwierigkeiten, wiemangelnder...

Access to secure and stable supply of critical raw materials (CRMs) is vital for Europe's economic security. These raw materials, which are indispensable inputs for Europe's modernisation, are supplied by a handful of countries. Among them, China and Russia are two of the most important European...

The economics of rare earth elements (REEs) has become a critical issue due to the growing demand for these crucial materials in the transition to renewable energies. The monopolistic structure of the REE market dominated by China and its unstable supply of REEs has raised concerns globally...

Rare earth elements (REEs) have many uses in the energy and defence industries, among others, and demand for them is set to increase rapidly in support of the low-carbon energy transition. Although the REEs are not geologically rare, China dominates the supply chain, accounting for 70% of global...

To further explain the biological effect mechanism of rare earth-doped mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) nanospheres, taking cerium-doped MBG (Ce/MBG) nanospheres as an example, the in vitro biological effect mechanism of Ce/MBG nanospheres was systematically studied. Cerium enters the MBG...

Wastewater from rare earth mining (WREM) is very harmful to environment and human health due to its high concentration of ammonia nitrogen(NH 3 -N). It is therefore necessary and urgent to find a low-cost and convenient technique to remove high concentration of NH 3 -N from WREM. In this study,...

Rare earth metals (REEs) are crucial for modern industries and technological development. REEs Extraction from their non-renewable primary sources has almost reached its threshold due to excessive global demand. An effectual approach for REEs recovery is recycling secondary sources governed by...

Electro-sorption is an effective strategy to remove metal ions from aqueous solution without being polluted by chemical reagents. It has been used in water purification and desalination, but there is little research on the recovery of rare earth. In this article, sodium diphenylamine sulfonate...

Abstract: The microstructure refinement mechanism and mechanical properties of 6082 aluminum alloy with different content of rare earth La element were investigated. The results showed that the addition of La can refine the α-Al grains, change the volume fraction of the Mg 2 Si particles and...

In this study, a self-activated co-doped Eu, Dy with Ca2KZn2(VO4)3 phosphors were synthesized by traditional solid state method. The powder X-Ray diffraction study produce single phase compounds of the verified structure and also shows that the whole structure of CKZVO phosphor is in cubic...

This study investigates the co-movements between the Solactive Electric Vehicle and Future Mobility Index (EVFMI) and multiple rare earth elements (REEs). We applied a TVP-VAR model and bivariate wavelet coherence approach to capture co-movements both in the time and frequency domain considering...

The high volatility and energy usage of rare earths have raised sustainable and financial concerns for environmentalists and sustainable investors. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate time-varying volatility transmission among rare earths elements, energy commodities, and sustainable...
