poem “Erbium and REES from fly ash”, a Periodic Table Twitter Verse poem for learning about the element #68, Erbium (Er) that talks about how for renewable energy that we will need a thousand times more rare earth elements that what we can get (and Chicago has a stranglehold on the rare earth element markets, like Erbium), so researchers found out that REEs can be mined from waste in burning coal fly ash from a reusable ionic liquid, and that this may be a way to filter toxic waste in effort to make the world a better place By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Erbium and REEs
from fly ash
Janet Kuypers
1/4/22 Twitter-length Periodic Table poem
for element #68, Erbium (Er)
#janetkuyperstwitterverseperiodictablepoem
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr
Don’t know how material-intensive
renewable energy is? Try 1,000% more
rare earth elements, like Erbium.
How relieved are we to learn that REEs
can be mined from waste in burning coal—
fly ash— from a reusable liquid.
So, let’s take toxic waste
and make the world a better place.
