China is not needed: US will receive rare earth metals in a new way

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/2a/f3/ib-1ipeinr4_15237c6f.jpg" Alt = "China is not needed: US will receive rare land in a new way"/> ~ < p > American company Western Digital launched a large -scale removal program of liquid earth metals from hard drives using a new processing process.

< P > in Presrection & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; what in the pilot project Western Digital in collaboration with Microsoft, Critical Material Recyling (CMR) equipment and hard drives derived from operation.

< p >According to the company, traditional processing methods restore only part of these valuable materials, often completely missing rare land elements, which leads to unnecessary waste.

~ < P > Innovative method of sorting and processing not only extracts rare earth elements, but also metals such as gold, copper, aluminum and steel, returning them to the US supplies chain. This is especially important for the sphere of electric vehicles, wind turbines and advanced electronics.

< P > Western Digital claim that they managed to restore about 90% of rare land. Advanced chemical processes in combination with careful segregation of components have also made it possible to re -extract about 80% of the mass of all raw materials, turning potential waste into valuable assets.

< P > The environmentally friendly, acid -free processing method used in this project was invented and originally developed in Critical Materials Innovation Hub (CMI). Technology minimizes emissions during transportation and reduces US dependence on imported materials.

< p > “In today's rapidly changing data landscape, innovations should go beyond the life cycle of the device. Western Digital and its partners are leading, turning storage devices that have gone out of operation into critical resources, which ensure our future; said Vice president of the global operating strategy and corporate stability in Western Digital Jackie Jangi
