MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621043957 A) filed by Mr. Anant Keshav Rajegaonkar; and Mrs. Jayashree Anant Rajegaonkar, Nashik, Maharashtra, on April 6, for 'a system for autonomous extraction of rare earth elements from coal fly ash.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Anant Keshav Rajegaonkar.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention which relates to a system(100) for autonomous extraction, activation, and selective recovery of Rare Earth Elements(REE) from Coal Fly Ash(CFA) includes a main computing device(102), a real-time characterization and activation assembly(108), a selective extraction and purification assembly(116) and a reagent recycling loop(122). The main computing device(102) includes a processor(104) and a database(106). The database(106) which stores computer readable instructions and machine learning models includes an autonomous orchestration layer. The autonomous orchestration layer which is implemented as a multi-agent computing architecture is configured to coordinate extraction, activation, and purification processes. The real-time characterization and activation assembly(108) which is operatively coupled to the main computing device(102) includes an IoT sensor array(110), a flash Joule heating reactor(112) and a microwave-assisted activation unit(114). The system(100) is configured to transform coal fly ash into an enriched REE resource through coordinated physical, chemical, biological, and quantum-assisted processes."
