A novel method for extracting metals from asteroids using non-aqueous deep eutectic solvents
Abstract Extra-terrestrial mining and metal processing are vital for access to strategic metals for space exploration. This study demonstrates for the first time the catalytic dissolution of metals from meteorite proxies of metal-rich asteroids using a deep eutectic solvent (DES). DESs are of partic...
