Rare Metal Technology 2020 - Proceedings - Symposium on Rare Metal Extraction & Processing

Oct 23, 2026

Rare Metal Technology 2020 presents proceedings from a symposium focused on rare metal extraction and processing, supported by the Hydrometallurgy and Electrometallurgy Committee of the TMS Extraction & Processing Division. Coverage spans research and development for producing rare metals from primary and secondary sources, including laterite ores, EAF dusts, and WEEE such as fluorescent lamps and lithium-ion batteries. Topics include hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and supercritical fluid extraction, addressing both primary production and urban mining for circular economy goals.

The symposium has been organized to encompass the extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production and mineral processing. This is the seventh symposium since 2014 . This symposium covers research and developments in the extraction and processing of rare metals from primary and secondary sources such as laterite ore, electric arc furnace (EAF) dusts, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) including ﬂuorescent lamps and lithium-ion batteries. Rare metals include strategic metals that are in increasing demand and subject to supply risks (those that are not covered by other TMS symposia) . The symposium is focused on primary production as well as secondary production through urban mining and recycling to enable the circular economy. Processing techniques including, but not limited to, hydrometallurgy (solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation, and crystallization), electrometallurgy (electroreﬁning and electrowinning), pyrometallurgy, and aeriometallurgy (supercritical ﬂuid extraction) are discussed in this symposium. In this proceedings publication, papers are presented on the extraction and processing ofrare earth metals including neodymium, dysprosium, scandium, and others; platinum group metals including platinum, palladium, iridium, and others; battery-related metals including lithium, cobalt,
