Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus and method for generating power from a renewable source of environmental water. The apparatus includes an upstanding structure adapted for support on ground adjacent to the renewable source of water having an elevated region relative to the ground. A conduit for water extends between the elevated region of the water supply and a water inlet. A gravity-operated energy converter supported by the structure is provided that causes water to descend vertically between the inlet and an outlet adjacent the ground while utilizing the weight of the water thus descending to drive at least one movable element and thereby produce power. Additional energy may be provided from buoyancy by causing empty and inverted water containers to ascend through a column of water fed by the renewable source of water.

The disclosure describes a method of extraction for optimal recovery of rare earth elements (REE). This includes the optimization of a liquid-liquid extraction technique for economic extraction of REE from chemically complex brines. Through the use of a model, operating conditions are altered to increase separation efficiency.
