摘要

对低碳能源技术功能所必需的矿物资源- -关键矿物- -的需求日益增加,其供应的安全是实现能源可持续性的最紧迫瓶颈之一。从资源表征到提取和精炼,一系列挑战出现了,这些挑战巩固了脱碳技术的经济可行性和从摇篮到坟墓的环境合规性。微流体学界有无数的机会参与其中,包括材料表征、萃取过程的机理阐明、化学分析、试剂筛选和分离装置设计,这些都利用了微流体的独特优势,即低样品和试剂要求、并行化能力、快速和低成本的测试。这一观点确定了确保关键矿物供应的关键差距和机会,并旨在激励LoC社区参与这一关键研究。

Mine-on-a-chip: megascale opportunities for microfluidics in critical materials and minerals recovery

Mine-on-a-chip: megascale opportunities for microfluidics in critical materials and minerals recovery

The rising supply gap for metal resources essential to energy, defense, and consumer technologies—the critical minerals and materials—poses one of the most pressing bottlenecks toward energy and national security. A suite of challenges ranging from resource definition to extraction and refining, however, undergird the economic feasibility and cradle-to-grave sustainability of these technologies. Myriad opportunities exist to leverage the unique advantages of microfluidics – low sample and reagent consumption, parallel processing, and rapid and low-cost testing – to understand and improve existing approaches for materials characterization, extraction, chemical analyses, reagent screening, separation. This perspective identifies key gaps and opportunities in securing the supply of minerals and materials critical to energy sustainability and aims to galvanize the lab on a chip (LoC) community in this crucial research.

期刊介绍: Lab on a Chip is the premiere journal that publishes cutting-edge research in the field of miniaturization. By their very nature, microfluidic/nanofluidic/miniaturized systems are at the intersection of disciplines, spanning fundamental research to high-end application, which is reflected by the broad readership of the journal. Lab on a Chip publishes two types of papers on original research: full-length research papers and communications. Papers should demonstrate innovations, which can come from technical advancements or applications addressing pressing needs in globally important areas. The journal also publishes Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives.
