This Office of Fossil Energy Funding Opportunity Announcement seeks research and development projects that will focus on innovative midstream processing technologies for the purification, recovery, individual separation and reduction to metals of high purity rare earth elements and other critical minerals from coal, coal by-products or alternate non-coal-based feedstock materials. The innovative midstream separation, purification and reduction to metal processes are required to be environmentally benign and sustainable, and have the potential for reduced capital costs and operating expenses in comparison to commercially available processes.
