$UURAF per email update from Ucore today:
“RapidSX™ is our proprietary, modular alternative to conventional solvent extraction. Using compact, computerized columns, it is designed to use up to ~60% less floor space, deliver roughly 3–7× faster throughput, and reduce operating costs through lower labor, power, and reagent consumption, while reaching equilibrium in hours instead of weeks. It uses the same proven chemistry as conventional SX, with extensive test work demonstrating comparable purity and recovery, but does not rely on China‑sourced equipment or technology. This makes RapidSX particularly valuable today and allows us to economically focus on elements China has placed under export control, such as samarium and gadolinium, alongside high‑value magnet elements like terbium, and dysprosium.”
