Front Cover: Lanthanide Sulfate Recovery by Synergistic Dimethyl Ether and Na <sub>2</sub> SO <sub>4</sub> Fractional Crystallization (ChemSusChem 24/2025)
The Front Cover illustrates the primary production (mining), capture from liquid byproduct, and recycling of rare earth elements (REEs) assisted by dimethyl-ether-driven fractional crystallization to produce solid salts. In the associated Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202501383), A. D. Wilson and co-workers explain how the process “leverages” the synergic use of sodium sulfate for multi-nine REE salt recovery and production of purified water containing single ppm concentrations of REE. This linocut print was hand produced by A.D.W. then colored with graphical software.
