REE Miner
|
| REE Miner is an optimized absorption kit of rare earth elements.
As a type of nonrenewable resource, rare earth elements are of great significance to human society, resulting in a substantial global demand. It is estimated that 1 ton of rare earth elements requires an average of 263 tons of water to extract. In addition, the wastewater generated by rare earth mining can have negative effects on our health and the environment. To solve this issue, we designed a brand-new kit based on the project accomplished in 2017.
We chose two validated systems, the pmr system and the gols system, to express the functional protein, with both systems modified to detect particular ions in wastewater. The four proteins oprf, Sitag, LanM, and dLBT combine to form a rare earth element concentrator, enabling REE Miner to purify the environment while recollecting these valuable resources.
