Ucore's technology is chloride-compatible, making it a natural fit with Metallium's FJH-upgraded feedstocks and is being scaled at Ucore's SMC in Louisiana with direct funding support from the U.S. government through an $18.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of War (formerly the U.S. Department of Defense).","length":540,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Under the agreement, each party commits to processing feedstocks supplied by the other at its existing facilities in Houston and Louisiana. Metallium's FJH technology provides the upstream upgrade step, converting diverse feedstocks into high-purity chlorides in a single rapid process, significantly reducing the complexity of conventional REE metallurgy. Ucore's RapidSX delivers downstream separation into individual rare earth oxides. Together they create a potential end-to-end refining pathway, ...
