Thompsonand analysis 2Applied MathematicsEnvironmentalsubsurface science Methods of Recovering Rare Earth Elements From a MaterialA method of recovering rare earth elements from amaterial includes contacting the material with a solution formulated and configured to dissolve rare earth elements. This forms a solution with rare earth elements dissolved in it. The solution is then exposed to a liquefied gas or a supercritical fluid to isolate the rare earth elements from each other. Related methods of removing and purifying rare earth elements from materials and phosphor lamps are also disclosed.Patent 10,533,239 granted 1/14/2020 to Robert V. Fox, Bruce J. Mincher,Mary E. Case, Donna L. Baek, Chien M. Wai, Clive Yen, Horng-Bin PanModular Nuclear Reactors, Fuel Structures, and Related MethodsA modular nuclear reactor includes sections arranged Patent 10,599,389 B2 in a pattern and a side reflector material surrounding the sections. Each section includes a tank with a front plate, a back plate, side plates, a top plate and a bottom plate. Each tank has a number of grid plates with fuel elements and heat pipes extending through each grid plate. Methods of forming the modular nuclear reactor are also disclosed.Patent 10,559,389 granted 2/11/2020 to James W. Sterbentz,James E. Werner4'
