The primary goal of these NETL-supported projects is to achieve at least 2%—20,000 parts per million (ppm)—REE elemental concentration, which represents a significant enrichment from feedstocks that typically contain REEs at 300 ppm (0.03%). The University will build and test the technology in their laboratory.

These highly concentrated samples are greater than 300 parts per million (ppm). Concentrations of rare earths at 300 ppm are integral to the commercial viability of extracting REEs from coal and coal by-products, making NETL’s finding significant in the effort to develop economical domestic supplies of these elements.
