Rare Earth Elements

They aren’t rare. Refining them is.

The West has an abundant supply of rare earth elements. But a hidden dependency on China makes them harder to refine than any other critical metal.

Ionic Rare Earths

[Nd] Neodymium

[Pr] Praseodymium

Nth Cycle is working to replace oxalic acid in Ionic Rare Earths' refining process with the OYSTER system, establishing the first production pathway that bypasses China for both long-loop recycling to high purity form, and the chemical agents, specifically oxalic acid, they produce to purify rare earth swarf into oxides for new magnet manufacturing.
