Chloride Molten Salt Electrolysis Enables Integrated and Energy-Efficient Process for NdFeB Magnet Fabrication Open
Rare-earth elements (REEs) have been identified by NATO, the USDOE, and USGS as critical materials, i.e., materials which have significant demand yet pose supply-chain risks. Many of the existing processes for separations, metallization, a…
Electrolysis in Chloride Molten Salts for Sustainable Critical Metals Production and Recovery Open
Critical materials, such as rare-earth metals, are essential to numerous applications, including clean energy; however, the present industrial practices for producing rare-earth metals involve environmentally damaging and thus unsustainabl…
Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Production of Rare-Earth Metals via Chloride-Based Molten Salt Electrolysis Open
Neodymium metal is a critical component of rare earth magnets, essential for electric vehicles and the green energy transition, but its production has severe environmental impacts across its mining, separation, purification, and metal elec…
