Abstract

Modified diglycolamide (DGA) extractants show high affinity for light lanthanides and improved separation factors compared to phosphonic acids used commercially. Previous studies with DGAs included flowsheet design and implementation into solvent extraction equipment but with low extractant concentration. Modifications on the alkyl chains of previous DGA extractants led to a competitive product for light rare earth separation with a higher extractant concentration. The scope of this project is to test a recently developed DGA extractant for application in pilot scale solvent extraction equipment with single stage testing, by narrowing down scrubbing conditions, and collecting distribution values for flowsheet planning.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
