EASE: Ether-based Aqueous Separations and Extractions
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Idaho National Laboratory
Co-Developers: Ames National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:Ether-based Aqueous Separations and Extractions, or EASE, is an emerging technology to separate valuable mineral salts as solids from wastewater and dilute sources. This solvent-driven process significantly reduces the energy and chemicals used for water treatment and mineral recovery without creating a new waste stream.
