Rockwell Automation and WVU Join Forces on Sustainability Initiative

It’s science time! Dr. Paul Ziemkiewicz, Director of Water Research at @WestVirginiaUniversity, joins us to explain how Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) from abandoned coal mines is preventing life from thriving in our rivers and streams. He goes on to share how the university, working together with Rockwell Automation, has devised a solution for cleaning this pollutant up at the watershed level. But wait: it gets even better! Dr. Paul also discovered that AMD sludge is a source of rare earth elements (think… the key materials needed to make your smart phone). This discovery, and the way Dr. Paul’s team is turning it into a reality, is GAME CHANGING. Join our live stream to learn how it all works, and read the full story here: https://rok.auto/3Q7GS0Q
