A new method has been discovered by scientists at University of Leeds to extract substantial amount of rare-earth oxides that are present in titanium dioxide minerals. The rare-earth oxides are essential for application in green technologies, such as for manufacture of wind turbines, hybrid and electric cars and energy-efficient lighting. This material is extracted or reclaimed from industrial waste materials cheaply.
