This project will develop enhanced methods to extract platinum group metals (PGMs) as well as high value by products, such as nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and copper (Cu) from domestic U.S. sources.

This project will develop a cost-effective approach for the flotation of phosphate minerals containing rare earth elements (REE) sourced from conventional and unconventional sources including ores,

This project is directed toward improving rare earth recovery at the Rare Element Resources (RER) Bear Lodge project while also increasing process energy and water use efficiency.

In the United States, brines are the primary source for lithium extraction. However, their long lead times and low lithium extraction yields limit their ability to meet the recent surge in demand.

High-precision geological and mineralogical characterization methods will guide the development and testing of several distinct hypothesis-driven extraction approaches for the nation’s largest lith

Leaching is the first step in chemically extracting rare earth elements (REEs) from mineral sources.

Rare earth element (REE) separations remain a grand challenge, accounting f

The ultimate objective of this project is to selectively recover gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) from zinc wastes of different sources.
