American Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:AREC) has acquired exclusive rights to critical rare-earth element separation and purification technologies from Hasler Ventures LLC and Purdue University, officials announced today (Feb. 2).
The environmentally safer method uses ligand-assisted chromatography for separation and purification of rare-earth and other critical elements from coal, coal byproducts, recycled permanent magnets and lithium ion batteries. The technology was developed in the laboratory of Linda Wang, Purdue s Maxine Spencer Nichols Professor of Chemical Engineering.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University innovators have created technology aimed at replacing Morse code with colored digital characters to modernize optical storage. They are confident the advancement will help with the explosion of remote data storage during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morse code has been around since the 1830s. The familiar dots and dashes system may seem antiquated given the amount of information needed to be acquired, digitally archived and rapidly accessed every day. But those same basic dots and dashes are still used in many optical media to aid in storage.

Purdue University researchers have discovered an improved solution for cutting “gummy” metals and reducing component failures.
The researchers previously showed that applying permanent marker, glue or adhesive film dramatically reduces the force required to cut metals such as aluminum, stainless steels, nickel, copper and tantalum. Now, they have discovered how these films produce the effect.
“We have found that you only need the organic film from the markers or glue to be one molecule thick for it to work,” says Srinivasan Chandrasekar, a Purdue professor of industrial engineering. “This ultra-thin film helps achieve smoother, cleaner and faster cuts than current machining processes. It also reduces the cutting forces and energy, and improves the outcomes for manufacturing across industries such as biomedical, energy, defense and aerospace.”
