ASM Boston Technical Talk (THIS THURSDAY Sept 17th @ 6PM CDS1101)
Our first technical talk of the academic year is here! For more information on the talk, and RSVP click here!
ASM Boston Technical Talk: Dr. Tomás Villalón, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Phoenix Tailings on “Sustainable Processes for Critical Materials Production”.
abstract
The development of new metallurgical production techniques is advancing as more critical materials are required to power next generation technologies. As a result of this, new metallurgical processing techniques that can effectively sort out trace quantities of critical materials from bulk sources are key focuses in the drive for modern metals processing facilities. In the context of rare earths and nickel, there are three key areas of interest for viable, long-term processes: process efficiency, transition metal impurities, and process flexibility. Each area has particular constraints on how the materials must be processed and handled, and new technologies that adapt to these processing constraints will be examined in the goal of making efficient and economic unit processes.
