Description

Idaho National Laboratory (INL), managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), is offering the opportunity to enter into a license and/or collaborative research agreement to commercialize the Engineered Microbes for Rare Earth Element Adsorption technology.

This process is a novel bioengineering strategy in Caulobacter crescentus to achieve one-step separation of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from other co-contaminated ions in solution.

This process can be applied to metal recycling, allowing enhanced REE extraction. This process can also be applied to the geothermal and mining industries and the production of high technical components such as computers, cars, magnets, and batteries.
