ALT Corson Cramer, a ceramics processing engineer, stands in the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL, wearing safety glasses and a blue lab coat. Text reads 'At the core of this research is the desire to better understand the material’s behavior during the transition process. We’re not only pushing the limits of the materials, but also how we measure and characterize them.'
New chemical separation methods could help recover gallium from zinc refinery residues. The approach would use specially designed molecules and reusable resins to target this critical material, potentially strengthening domestic supply chains.
