Update #2 · Latest ·

Rare earth technology is being pursued globally at fever pitch

  • The DOE Tripartite Collaboration (US-EU-Japan) is ongoing for the technology development 
  • Global clean energy industry has projected the acute shortage of rare-earth elements around 2030
  • Two of the most important areas: 
    • Production of RE metals/alloys
    • Recycling of waste RE materials 

INL's Solutions: 

  1. Recycling waste rare earth permanent magnet (NdFeB)
  2. A one-step conversion process of the rare earth oxices to rare earth metals and alloys
  3. A molten salt electrolytic process to fabricate new hybrid/composite magnetic materials
  4. Conversion of a non-magnet to soft magnet 

INL is seeking to license the above intellectual property to a company with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Exclusive rights in defined fields of use may be available.
