Processing & Separation Technology

Rare earth elements (REEs) are only as valuable as the ability to separate them. This technical category focuses on the midstream “cracking” and separation processes that turn mixed concentrates into high-purity oxides. We explore traditional solvent extraction (SX) alongside innovations like ion exchange, molecular recognition technology (MRT), and AI-optimized flowsheets.

Key Focus: High-purity NdPr production, heavy rare earth (HREE) separation, solvent innovation, and secondary recovery from tailings and e-waste.
