Around the world, there is a growing awareness to protect the urban environment; hence, urban mining of end-of-life products utilizing green processes have become imperative. The proposed Canada Research Chair will develop and apply innovations in urban mining of strategic materials, namely lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements (REEs) from postconsumer products, utilizing an innovative and environmentally friendly process called supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE). Carrying out this research involves process-critical goals of investigating the phase equilibrium; elucidating the mechanism; and developing and optimizing the SCFE process.

在世界范围内，保护城市环境的意识日益增强;因此，利用绿色工艺在城市开采报废产品已势在必行。拟议的加拿大研究主席将开发和应用城市开采战略材料的创新，即消费后产品中的锂，钴和稀土元素（REEs），利用称为超临界流体萃取（SCFE）的创新和环保工艺。开展这项研究涉及过程的关键目标，调查相平衡，阐明机制，开发和优化SCFE过程。
