Great Salt Lake Composition and Rare Earth Speciation Analysis
We have conducted aqueous speciation analyses of the Great Salt Lake (GSL) brine sample (Table 1) and a mock geo sample (Table 2) spiked with 1 ppb Tb and 100 ppb Tb. The GSL... -
Techno-Economic Assessment for Integrating Biosorption into Rare Earth Recovery Process
The current uncertainty in the global supply of rare earth elements (REEs) necessitates the development of novel extraction technologies that utilize a variety of REE source... -
Utah FORGE: Well 16A(78)-32 Core-Flooding Experiment Results
This dataset contains core-flood experimental results from the Utah FORGE project, generated through laboratory tests at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The experiments... -
Improved Microseismicity Detection During Newberry EGS Stimulations
Effective enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) require optimal fracture networks for efficient heat transfer between hot rock and fluid. Microseismic mapping is a key tool used to... -
REE Adsorption Performance with Immobilized Caulobacter Biofilms
This submission includes data collected from experiments on the performance of rare earth adsorption by immobilized bacteria that accompany the FY18 Q2 and Q3 quarter reports.... -
Design of an Airlift Bioreactor
An important consideration for the process design is cell immobilization-enabled flow-through operation. Large-scale biosorption relies on cells that are immobilized on a... -
Chlorite, Biotite, Illite, Muscovite and Feldspar Dissolution Kinetics at Variable pH and Temperatures up to 280 deg C
Chemical reactions pose an important but poorly understood threat to EGS long-term success because of their impact on fracture permeability. This report summarizes the... -
Rare Earth Desorption Test with Citrate and Bicarbonate
LBT (lanthanide binding tag) cells were grown overnight in LB media with 0.05% Amp. 1:100 subculture taken from overnights, grown for 2 hours. LBT was induced with 0.002%... -
Illite Dissolution Rates and Equation (100 to 280 deg C)
The objective of this suite of experiments was to develop a useful kinetic dissolution expression for illite applicable over an expanded range of solution pH and temperature... -
Rare Earth Element Biomining from the Great Salt Lake Brine Using Engineered E. Coli
This data describes rare earth element adsorption onto E. coli cells engineered to express a lanthanide binding tag (LBT). We used a Great Salt Lake synthetic solution as the... -
Rare Earth Adsorption and Desorption with PEGDA Beads
We synthesized PEGDA polymer hydrogel beads for cell embedding and compared REE biosorption with these beads via a gravity-driven flow through setup. One way to set up a flow... -
Applications of Geothermally-Produced Colloidal Silica in Reservoir Management - Smart Gels
In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) the reservoir permeability is often enhanced or created using hydraulic fracturing. In hydraulic fracturing, high fluid pressures are... -
The Value of Spatial Information for Determining Well Placement
The article and accompanying spreadsheet represent the information posteriors derived from synthetic data of magnetotellurics (MT). These were used to calculate value of... -
Sustainable Self-Propping Shear Zones in EGS: Chlorite, Illite, and Biotite Rates and Report
Spreadsheet containing chlorite, illite, and biotite rate data and rate equations that can be used in reactive transport simulations. Submission includes a report on the... -
Chlorite Dissolution Rates From 25 to 275 degrees and pH 3 to 10
We have calculated a chlorite dissolution rate equation at far from equilibrium conditions by combining new data (20 experiments at high temperature) with previously published... -
