Abstract
Modern technology relies on an undisrupted supply of metals, yet many metals have limited geological deposits. Recovering metals from wastewater and brine could augment metal stocks, but there is little guidance on which metals to prioritize for recovery or on the techno-economic viability of extraction processes. Here we critically assess the potential for recovering metals from wastewater and brine. We first look at which metals are critical for recovery on the basis of their supply risks and the impacts of those supply restrictions. We then assess the feasibility of recovering these metals from various water sources by estimating the required operational costs to match market prices. Next we discuss the limitations of established separation technologies that may inhibit the practicality and scalability of metal recovery from water. We conclude by highlighting materials and processes that could serve as more sustainable alternatives to metal recovery with further research and development. Recovering metals from wastewater and brine could augment metal stocks that are fundamental to modern technology. This Perspective assesses the potential of, and provides guidance for, recovering metals from wastewater and brine.
