DOE, national laboratories, academia, business/industry Japan delegation led by Toru Nakayama, NEDO - New Energy and Industrial Technology and Development Organization (NEDO)
- National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)
- Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC)
- Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, METI
- Tohoku University
- Kansai University
Roundtable used an enterprise format: from supply to demand side The most readily available REE resource (other than Mountain Pass mine) is the extant product lines, i.e., reuse and recycling - New mine finds take at least 10 years to produce (in U.S.)
- Plentiful worldwide phosphate resources with relatively low concentration REE (requires economical extraction/separation)
Japan’s supply and demand chain is more fully articulated than in U.S.; may have different priorities
Dysprosium and Neodymium for REE magnets [30% reduction] Dysprosium and Neodymium for REE magnets [30% reduction] - Grain refinement and nanostructure techniques
- REE- less/free alloys or other elements
Cerium for polishing abrasives [30% reduction] Europium and Terbium in phosphors for fluorescent lighting [80% reduction] - Optimized use in manufacturing and lighting systems
- Materials development in glasses and phosphors
Indium for transparent conducting electrodes [50% reduction] Indium for transparent conducting electrodes [50% reduction] - New compositions, manufacturing methods, and high performance nano-particles
- ZnO-based replacement technology
Platinum Group Metals for emission control catalysts [50% reduction] Tungsten for hard metal tools [ 30% reduction] - Hybrid and complex-structured hard cutting tools
- Titanium carbon nitride cermet and coating technology
Platforms for exchange of information and ideas Platforms for exchange of information and ideas - Virtual data bases and networks
- Research results, tools, methods, lessons learned, best practices
- Education and training for new and transitional professionals
- Develop market cohorts: business, economics, legal political, socio-environmental
Lifecycle and strategic risk management studies
Build fundamental scientific and engineering capabilities to address exigent and emerging critical materials issues, while pursuing respective target applications Build fundamental scientific and engineering capabilities to address exigent and emerging critical materials issues, while pursuing respective target applications - Reduces the impact of supply chain disparities
- Avoids conflicts in competitive applications
- Example research areas:
Separations for processing and reprocessing - Versatile for both raw (mined) and product materials (reuse and recycling)
- Increase separation factors among elements
- Simple and economic, with low impact
Fundamental properties of REE and nano- to micro-science Fundamental properties of REE and nano- to micro-science - Understand the fundamental coordination chemistry of f-element materials
- Explore behavior and performance in various complexes and molecular structures
- Impacts on extraction/separation, reprocessing and manufacturing
- Rapid techniques for quantitative automated mineralogy
- Assay bulk material, no preparation, non-destructive, near real-time
- Supports exploration and mining, processing requirements, and reuse and recycling
Geosciences and recovery Geosciences and recovery - Remote sensing and geochemical exploration to detect and characterize concealed ore deposits
- Target extraction with selective solvents
- Lower cost and impact of mining and recovery
Computational science, models, and simulation - Improve approximation methods for modeling f-electron atoms
- Explore methods from atomistic to multi-scale or multi-physics simulations
- Models may be more efficient than producing new compounds or processes
