This department is offering a grant to advance Rare Earth Elements (REE) and Critical Materials (CM) recovery from U.S. coal-based resources through the development and scale-up of novel extraction/separation concepts and optimization of existing processes. The grant aims to transition technologies from bench-scale to pilot-scale facilities, focusing on the production of REEs and CMs. Applicants can apply under two Areas of Interest (AOIs) to support the validation and scaling of novel and conventional extraction and separation processes for REE/CM production. Closing date: Jun 10, 2019.

| Description: | The objective of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications to further develop/scale novel Rare Earth Elements (REE) and Critical Materials (CM) extraction and separation concepts (i.e., a technology that is not currently available to deploy for REE/CM separation/extraction) to produce REEs and CMs from U.S. coal-based resources in bench-scale facilities. The FOA also seeks to solicit applications to further develop/scale bench-scale, conventional, REE recovery processes (i.e., a technology that may have been commercially deployed for another application, but not for REE/CM separation/extraction) to produce REEs and CMs from U.S. coal-based resources in pilot-scale facilities as well as address process optimization and efficiency improvements for the design, construction, and operation of pilot-scale research extraction/separation facilities, for recovery of REEs and CMs. This FOA consists of two (2) Areas of Interest (AOI). AOI 1 concerns the production of REEs and CMs; transitioning, scale-up and validation of novel extraction/separation concept development into bench-scale facility REE/CM production. AOI 2 concerns the production of REEs and CMs; transitioning, scale-up and validation of conventional extraction/separation processes from bench-scale to pilot-scale facility REE/CM production. |
