b) Generalized overview of a CM supply chain, including a discussion of the importance of non-traditional resources and a circular economy for CMs.
c) Methods for the extraction and purification of select critical materials, with a closer look at performance, costs, and environmental/human health impact. Emphasis will be placed on hydrometallurgical techniques.
d) Generalized introduction to the development of advanced CM extraction systems (i.e., LLE, SLE, SPE).Knowledge acquired: 1) the general shortcomings of existing supply chains, 2) the assessment of advanced extraction systems, focusing on performance, cost, scalability, resource availability, and environmental/human health impact, 3) characteristics and examples of non-traditional feedstocks and the importance of a circular economy for CMs, 4) the commonly used hydrometallurgical extraction techniques with real-world examples (i.e., REEs).
