RARE EARTH ELEMENTS PATENT
Rare earth elements have become a very important aspect of
producing high technology products like cell phones, radios, computers,
communication devices, batteries, and many other products. The vast majority of rare earth elements
being currently produced are coming from the nation of China. Other countries including the US do have
significant reserves of rare earth elements which these countries could mine. However, after the mining of these elements,
they must be separated from each other in order to capture the value of some of
the most sought after rare earth elements.
This patent makes proprietary a certain method using the opposing forces
of centrifugal force and electromagnets to separate these elements and target
the rare earth elements of the greatest value. The patented process represents a significant advance in the separation of rare earth
elements over the processes used today.
