Ucore Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex

Notes

First commercial-scale RapidSX™ column-extraction separation facility outside China. Located in Alexandria, Louisiana, USA. Processes mixed rare earth chloride feed to produce separated oxides (NdPr, Dy, Tb, La/Ce) with a significantly smaller physical footprint and lower organic-solvent inventory than conventional mixer-settler cascades. Supported by U.S. DoD funding under the Defence Production Act.
