Metals Webinar | Green Solvent Extraction for Critical Metal Recovery, 14 May 2026
Message from the Chair:
Welcome to the webinar “Green Solvent Extraction for Critical Metal Recovery”. The search for new critical raw material sources has increased pressure to improve extraction efficiency whilst adhering to sustainable mining demands. As a result, more scientific advances are required to meet technical, economic, and sustainable goals. In this Special Issue, we seek studies that explore scientific developments using green reagents in all steps of the critical raw material extraction process.
In this webinar, we will discuss topics from recycling of Li-ion batteries to recovery of metals from mining process and the development of new separation processes. This webinar aims to bring together scientists and engineers to discuss new solutions and developments for a greener recovery of critical metals.
