Extracting Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements
The same underlying technology that removes radium can also be designed to selectively capture valuable critical minerals. Stochastic Research has developed custom formulations for elements such as lithium, barium, strontium, arsenic, and other rare earth elements.
Our synthetic clays target and bind these elements with unprecedented efficiency, enabling recovery from sources that were previously uneconomical or impossible to process.
Stochastic Research’s separation technology opens the door to domestic production of critical minerals at scale, using existing industrial waste streams such as produced water, mining tailings, and other complex brines.
Revenue Generator
The ability to recover critical minerals and rare earth elements from produced water and mining tailings creates significant opportunities for additional revenue generation. For example, lithium extracted from brines can be supplied to battery manufacturers, while dysprosium and thorium recovered from industrial streams can be sold to high-tech and clean energy industries.
By turning previously discarded or hard-to-access materials into valuable products, Stochastic Research helps operators unlock new revenue streams while addressing environmental challenges.
