Ionic Rare Earths (ASX:IXR) - Inside the REE Recycling Process

Fergal Coleman, Head of Technology at Ionic Technologies, provides a comprehensive overview of the company's rare earth recycling process, showcasing the journey from bench-scale experiments to a pre-commercial demonstration plant. The process begins with the crushing and grinding of magnets into a fine powder, followed by acid digestion and a series of purification steps to produce a mixed rare earth oxide product. The heart of Ionic Tech's innovation lies in its separation circuits, which efficiently separate light and heavy rare earth elements. The process distinguishes between neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) and the more valuable dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb). These separated elements are then converted into oxalates and finally calcined to produce high-purity rare earth oxides, the end product of this sophisticated recycling process. This demonstration plant represents a significant step towards commercial-scale rare earth recycling, positioning Ionic Tech at the forefront of sustainable rare earth production. — Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/io...
