Or tune the ligands to focus on any particular critical Mineral, V, No, Co,
Yes, IXRʼs Ionic Technologies MAIL (Multifunctional Amide Ionic Liquids) IP is designed for more than just rare earths from mining concentrates and magnets—it has demonstrated and is being further evaluated for extracting and refining other critical minerals into high-purity products, IXRʼs MAIL IP is not limited to rare earths from mining and magnets—it is a flexible, next-generation extraction platform with proven and potential applications across a range of other critical minerals.
Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) Development
Task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) represent the next evolution of ionic liquid technology, designed with specific functional groups to interact selectively with certain substances or facilitate specific chemical reactions. TSILs contain functional groups tailored for specific applications such as catalysis, extraction, or separation processes, I did a post last year on this, need to find it.
Research specifically focuses on extraction of gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), and indium (In) using ionic liquids, with these elements being essential for high-technology products and listed as critical elements by many governments . Studies demonstrate that imidazolium-based ionic liquids can effectively extract these elements from electronic waste and industrial byproduct.
Professor Peter Nockemann, co-founder and director of Ionic Technologies (formerly SerenTechnologies), is a leading authority on the use of functionalized ionic liquids—specifically the Multifunctional Amide Ionic Liquids MAIL) platform—for the extraction, separation, and recycling of not just rare earth elements, but a broad range of critical and high-tech metals.
