Recycling of lamp-phosphor residues for rare-earth-elements recovery using deep eutectic solvents KU Leuven
Rare earth elements (REEs) have been considered by the European Commission as the most critical raw material, considering both risk of supply shortage and impact on economy. The establishment of efficient REEs recycling technologies could significantly reduce the European Union import dependence. This project is an experimental approach to develop a close-loop process for the recycling of lamp phosphor powder based on a new brand of ...
