Discovering oboniobite and scandio-fluoro-eckermannite: Revolutionising the critical minerals industry with advanced bulk material handling
The world of critical minerals has just become more exciting with the recent rare earth elements news: the discovery of oboniobite and scandio-fluoro-eckermannite. As these elements hold significant potential for technological advancements, their extraction and processing are now under the spotlight. For companies like Floveyor, specialising in tubular drag conveyors (TDCs) and bulk material handling equipment, the discoveries are not only thrilling but also an opportunity to showcase the importance of advanced bulk material handling in the critical minerals industry.
The significance of oboniobite and scandio-fluoro-eckermannite
Rare-earth elements are vital to high-tech industries, including electronics, renewable energy, and defence. The addition of oboniobite and scandio-fluoro-eckermannite to the REE family opens new doors for innovation and application. Oboniobite, with its unique magnetic properties, could revolutionise data storage and electronic devices. Scandio-fluoro-eckermannite shows promise in enhancing materials used in aerospace and high-strength applications, due to its exceptional structural properties.
The rare earth elements news underscore the ongoing need for efficient and reliable materials handling solutions, particularly as the demand for rare earth elements continues to rise. This is where Floveyor’s expertise in conveying technology becomes crucial to anyone who wants to understand how to extract the most value from their mining investment.
How to advance powder handling in rare earth elements processing
It’s not uncommon to see similar powder handling applications applied across various critical minerals plants. This is in part due to a lack of deeper knowledge and breadth of experience of critical minerals refining.
We have a real opportunity to rethink how we approach midstream processing of critical minerals. The discoveries of new REE and gaining a good understanding of their true material characteristics require strong collaboration between OEMs, EPCs and end clients in the design phase, to mitigate process risk and subsequent pitfalls.
The role of advanced bulk material handling
Efficient materials handling is the backbone of the critical minerals industry. From mining to processing, the ability to move materials safely and effectively is essential. Tubular drag conveyors, known for their gentle handling and flexibility, are particularly suited for the sensitive nature of rare earth elements. TDCs ensure minimal degradation of the material, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and quality of these valuable elements.
Bulk material handling equipment plays a pivotal role in ensuring these materials are processed efficiently. Floveyor’s advanced systems are designed to handle the unique challenges posed by REE, such as their abrasiveness and the need for precise control over the material flow. With its cutting-edge technology and durable design, our equipment ensures optimal performance and reliability.
