This project will validate a critical mineral (CM) conversion technology, advancing it to bench-scale testing. Fundamental objectives include validating technology mechanisms, identifying critical operational factors, and confirming selectivity in mixed mineral systems. Applied objectives focus on designing and testing an integrated CM conversion process. The project will conduct techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle analysis (LCA) on the new technology.
