London-listed Rainbow Rare Earths has achieved successful first production of mixed rare earth sulphate at the Phalaborwa pilot plant, in South Africa.The 3 kg of mixed rare earth sulphate that Rainbow produced is of expected purity and grade and includes all four of the critical magnet rare earths – neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium.
Alternatively, it can also be used as feed for the back-end pilot plant built at K-Technologies’ facilities, in Florida, in the US, for final processing into separated rare earth oxides.Moreover, the front-end pilot plant reagent consumption and overall recovery rate of 65% are in line with the expectations of the preliminary economic assessment on the Phalaborwa project.
In terms of the back-end rare earth oxide separation process, Rainbow is exploring the option of establishing a commercial scale plant in the US, which would establish the company as one of the only producers of four permanent magnet separated rare earth oxides in the US.
