OUR PROCESS
Rare Earth Salts processes have significant advantages over existing separation technologies in an industry that has not seen viable refining innovation in more than three quarters of a century.
Prior to developing their proprietary processes, Rare Earth Salts evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of every separation process used since the 1940s. That allowed Rare Earth Salts to invent a new electrochemical process from the ground up based on sound basic chemistry.
Rare Earth Salts has scaled their technologies successfully from lab to pilot to commercial scale.
Rare Earth Salts processing time from concentrate to first finished products is days with very limited separation steps versus months and hundreds of steps with solvent extraction (SX).
Rare Earth Salts patented processes’ capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) are highly cost-competitive versus traditional rare earth element separation and refining.
The process advancements by Rare Earth Salts represent industry-changing solutions demanded by the rare earth supply chain to profitably compete. Rare Earth Salts provides an immediate opportunity to reestablish domestic commercial production of rare earths and reduce foreign dependence on these critical materials.
