Flow-gel approach enables rapid extraction of pure magnesium phase from seawater
Abstract
Current methods for separating critical materials from feedstock solutions remain energy- and atom-intensive. We demonstrate the rapid extraction of a pure magnesium phase from seawater via precipitation with sodium hydroxide in a flow-gel device. Our approach is scalable, applicable in high-throughput, and does not rely on specialty chemicals.Published: April 2, 2025
