The Challenges and opportunities of recycling critical metals

Write a research about the challenges and opportunities of recycling critical metals (including environmental justice issues if space permits) that are used in renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, etc.) and green technology. The paper has a 2,500 word limit and must cite at least 10 peer-reviewed references. Must be saved in Word 97-2003 document format. Format: Begin with a summary paragraph. End with a paragraph stating your conclusions. Use section headings for the body of the text. Observe the page limit specified for the assignment. Use double-spacing, correct spelling, 12 point Times New Roman or similar font, and formal written English (no contractions, no first person, no dangling prepositions, and all that good stuff). State the title, your name, section number, course number and date. Use page numbers. The list of references (bibliography), title page, and illustrations (if any) are not included in the pagelimit. Write large numbers as numerals. Use only SI units of measurement – convert all English units (feet, acres, etc.) to their approximate metric equivalents, using theappropriate abbreviation and prefix as needed. If you are not sure how to do this, pleaseask. For example: Unacceptable. The Hoover Dam, located about thirty miles southeast of Las Vegas, forms a reservoir that can hold more than twenty-eight million acre-feet of water and has an installed hydroelectric generation capacity of two thousand eighty megawatts. Acceptable. The Hoover Dam, located about 50 km southeast of Las Vegas, forms a reservoir that can hold more than 35 km3 of water and has an installed hydroelectric generation capacity of 2.08 GW. Originality: This is a library research assignment, not original research. Nevertheless, the text must be written in your own words! Read your source material, digest it, write down the concepts as you understand them, then tag the statement with a full bibliographic citation. Avoid direct quotations longer than a few words - rephrase the quote using your own terms. Reread the plagiarism warning in the course syllabus. References: All ideas must be referenced. Since this is a library research paper, it is assumed that most of the ideas in the paper will not be yours. Therefore it is expected that your text will contain many citations. Use full citations, not numbers. Part of the grade will depend on correct usage of citations and references. You may have used different formats in other classes but to receive full credit in this class, you must follow the following guidelines carefully. If you are not sure, just ask. The format should be as in the following text example: Production and transformation of organic matter in streams and rivers render the broad range of molecular forms typical for organic material in freshwater systems (Kaplan and Bott, 1989; Kim et al., 2006). For purposes of this assignment, you may include illustrations copied from your published sources, but you must acknowledge the authors and add the citation to your reference list. The list of references should be given at the end of your document. You should use at least the minimum number of references specified for the assignment. Youmust use these formats: Peer-reviewed scientific journal article: Kim S., Kaplan L.A., Hatcher P.G., 2006, Biodegradable dissolved organic matter in a temperate and tropical stream determined from ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry.
