  1. Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs). This breakthrough opens the door to a promising new way of "green mining" of these minerals called #phytomining.

  2. #Phytomining: Mit Blumen wertvolle #Metalle gewinnen

    Die Nachfrage nach Nickel für Batterien steigt enorm. Doch der Bergbau verursacht große Umweltschäden. Pflanzen könnten dabei helfen, Nickel und andere Rohstoffe aus dem Boden zu gewinnen und Flächen zu entgiften.

  3. Ach, więc są rośliny, które akumulują w sobie metale z gleby i ktoś zrobił z tego #biznes. Sadzi się takie rośliny na hektarach nieużytków, zbiera się, suszy, mieli a potem z tego zmielonego proszku chemicznie odzyskuje nikiel, cynk, złoto albo cokolwiek innego. W ilościach homeopatycznych, ma się rozumieć, ale to nadal się opłaca. I to się wtedy nazywa #phytomining
    Wniosek mam z tego taki, że Herbapol może teraz wejść w wydobycie metali ziem rzadkich ;)

  4. #FunFactFriday: Seaweed could be the answer to the critical mineral bottleneck that the future faces, on top of its potential uses for the biofuel and fertilizer markets. Is science getting lost in the weeds, or should we sea where this goes? News Source: cleantechnica.com/2025/05/07/c

  5. Camelina, a friendly li'l brassica is a superhero!
    1. It cleans contaminated soils, slurping up nickel--which can then be harvested (phytomining!) for use
    2. It improves the soil's fertility
    3. Its oil can be used in biofuels.

    "We believe that there is currently enough nickel in the barren soil in the U.S. to supply us for 50 years of phytomining,” says [phytoremediation prof] Dhankher.

    [I know that the USGS has some direct research ongoing in this regard; bioremediation has been around for a long time, in a sense this is a natural extension (pun very much intended)]

  12. @Bloch Hi Kasimir, freue mich über Dein Interesse, schaue Dir einfach die Sendung #Schnittgut an. Da ist das #Phytomining super erklärt. Der Beitrag sollte eigentlich auch in eine Wissenschaftssendung wie z.Bsp. #Nano. Ist aber auch für Gartenleute interessant.
