Description
- Coal fly ash is a waste product from burning coal
- Recent research has been focusing on if coal fly ash could be a source of rare earth elements (REE)
- REE are a critical raw material needed for many technologies
- Growing importance for finding alternative sources of REE as demand increases every year
- Most of REE export from China
- Goal of this research is to determine what REE are present in the coal fly ash
- Atomic Emission (AE) is the technique that will be used to determine if REE are present
- AE was chosen due to its low limits of detection and high sensitivity
