Cover Story: Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical for modern technological applications, but their extraction can have disastrous environmental impacts. Electrokinetic mining represents a new sustainable technique to recover REEs from weathering crusts, which increases their recovery efficiency while reducing harmful environmental consequences. Wang and colleagues have constructed an electrokinetic transport model considering the previously unrecognized influence of ionic size, which enables a more realistic description of the electrokinetic transport of REEs in weathering crusts containing nanochannels. The model has predicted that the electrokinetic transport of heavy REEs is faster than that of light REEs, contrary to the conventional belief, while being consistent with the experimental results.
