Summary
Brazilian Rare Earths Limited (BRE) reports the successful validation of a low-temperature, acid-cure process that delivers a 97% recovery rate for total rare earth oxides and uranium at 150°C. This process, validated through a comprehensive metallurgical program at the CDTN in Brazil, significantly lowers the energy intensity and operational costs usually associated with high-temperature methods, such as rotary kilns, which operate at temperatures above 250°C. The results confirm the scalability of the process and support its application across various high-grade feedstocks, enhancing overall efficiencies and cost-effectiveness. The implementation of this technology is aimed at integrating into BRE's broader resource base and creating a 'hub-and-spoke' production model, which includes a central processing hub in Camaçari, Brazil.
Key Points
  • Low-temperature process delivers 97% rare earth recovery.
  • Process operates at 150°C, eliminating high-temperature kilns.
  • Significant reduction in energy intensity and operational costs.
  • Scalable technology validated by Brazilian federal research institute CDTN.
  • Integrated 'hub-and-spoke' production model planned.
