Researchers have patented a new process that neutralizes coal drainage and captures rare-earth elements.
The experimental process has been patented by a team at Ohio State University and it was shown to successfully clean coal mine drainage while producing rare-earth elements in samples from various rivers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.“One thing that surprised me was just how well our process cleans up the water,” Jeff Bielicki, co-author of the paper, said in a media statement.
He also explained that the average time it takes to rid water of waste often varies because the process largely depends on how quickly water flows out from the mine.
