American Resources Corporation AREC, through its stake in ReElement Technologies Corporation, a leader in high-performance refining for rare earth elements, critical defense materials and battery components, has unveiled a groundbreaking preparative scale sequential simulated moving bed (SSMB) production unit.
This cutting-edge technology marks a major leap for AREC in the process of refining critical minerals. AREC is at the forefront of the domestic market and committed to deploying the fastest and most efficient refining solutions for vital materials, including rare earth elements, battery materials and other strategic metals like antimony, all of which are aimed at supporting national defense and industry needs.
The newly commissioned equipment marks the addition of a third dedicated chromatography line at American Resources’ Noblesville, IN facility. Each of these lines has been meticulously designed to handle specific rare earth and critical elements. This expansion will significantly boost the facility's daily refining capacity for essential rare earth elements like neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) while broadening the range of minerals the platform can process, while accelerating its speed to market.
By investing in cutting-edge technology, American Resources underscores its dedication to excellence, scientific progress and providing the world’s most scalable and versatile refining solutions. Looking ahead, the company is eager to harness this new capability to drive innovation and fast-track advancements in refining critical materials.
