These strategic metals are key to the manufacturing of military, consumer, electronic, and industrial products including batteries, specialty alloys, electrical conductors, catalytic converters, lasers, lenses, LED lights, and magnets. The approach proposed in the paper is to recover strategic metals from aqueous sources, where they are often considered contaminants, and avoid the deleterious environmental impacts of traditional hard rock mining. Geopolitical complexity will also be avoided, since these materials are currently sourced from only a few places in the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 2021 Best Paper Award will be formally announced on the front cover and in an editorial in the September 2022 issue of \u003Cem\u003EACS ES\u0026amp;T Engineering\u003C\/em\u003E, which will be published in the upcoming September, 2022 edition.
