REE bio-processing... New, environmentally friendly method to extract and separate rare earth elements phys.org by Pennsylvania State University October 8, 2021 The new method takes advantage of a bacterial protein called lanmodulin, previously discovered by the research team, that is almost a billion times better at binding to rare earth elements than to other metals. A paper describing the process appears online Oct. 8 in the journal ACS Central Science. The protein is first immobilized onto tiny beads within a column—a vertical tube commonly used in industrial processes—to which the liquid source material is added. The protein then binds to the rare earth elements in the sample, which allows only the rare earths to be retained in the column and the remaining liquid drained off. Then, by changing the conditions, for example by changing the acidity or adding additional ingredients, the metals unbind from the protein and can be drained and collected. By carefully changing the conditions in sequence, individual rare earth elements could be separated.

Three Northeast states deploy National Guard amid medical capacity crisis due to pandemic By Evan Simko-Bednarski and Amy Simonson, CNN Updated 5:55 PM ET, Wed December 8, 2021 National Guard soldiers help people sign up for their vaccination appointments on February 24, 2021, in Jamaica, Queens. (CNN)The governors of Maine and New York deployed the National Guard in response to dangerously low capacity at statewide medical facilities due to the pandemic. The New York National Guard announced Wednesday that it had deployed 120 medics and medical technicians to a dozen long-term care facilities statewide. The deployment came at the behest of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who issued the order last week in response to staffing shortages. Service members deployed to facilities in Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, Buffalo, Utica, Plattsburgh, Uniondale, Liberty, Vestal, Olean, Lyons and Goshen, the Guard said in a statement. New York mayor's office reaches vaccine mandate deals with 20 unions but not NYPD or FDNY Hochul has indicated that she may deploy the Guard to hospitals as well -- as of last week, some 50 hospitals in northern New York had less than 10% bed capacity in large part due to lack of staff. In Maine, Gov. Janet Mills activated the National Guard following a spike in Covid-19 cases. "I do not take this action lightly, but we must take steps to alleviate the strain on our health care system and ensure care for all those who need it," Mills said in a statement.
