REE SEPARATION BREAKTHROUGH
Proprietary process has significant advantages over solvent extraction
PHYSICAL SEPARATION
Concept proven on small industrial scale for over 60 years;
Proven on large industrial scale for over 60 years;
SOLVENT EXTRACTION
Separation in sequence from Lanthanum to Lutetium;
Hundreds of cycles to purify all REE;
HREE are last and very difficult;
CAPEX range from $300M to $600M (outside China);
Chemical (organic solvent) intensive;
Knowhow restricted to China.
Simultaneous separation of all REE and impurities;
Few steps anticipated to purify all REE;
HREE are easy and simultaneous;
CAPEX to confirm but likely under $300M;
Electricity as consumable;
Predictable behavior of REE ions electrophoretic mobility.
