Inductance is a licensee of Magnetic Propulsion technologies and its many applications in industrial, commercial and consumer products.
The refining of rare earth minerals into usable finished products from rare earth oxides (processed rare earth) is well known and has been successfully demonstrated for many decades. There are several known process paths using magnetic, chemical, and other means to extract the desired rare earth elements from mined hard rock, sedimentary formations, clays, coal and coal waste streams.
Urban mining is a relatively new term that involves the identification, securitization, and reprocessing of known materials that contain rare earth, that can be recycled and reprocessed into value-added products. An Urban mining site can include any source of used magnets, fly ash, fly bottom ash, or mining tailings.
