CO₂-Driven Metal Recovery from Reactive Ores
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge lies in developing a cost-effective, scalable process that can both capture CO₂ and extract critical energy metals from ultramafic and mafic rocks, especially mine tailings. Currently, these two goals are tackled separately using energy-intensive and chemically harsh methods that are expensive, waste-generating, and often...
