| Abstract | The broader/commercial impact of this SBIR Phase I project is to increase the domestic supply of critical minerals that are necessary for the prosperity, welfare, and defense of the Unites States of America. This research aims to develop a new centrifugal assisted gravity separator that can be used at the first stage, shortly after initial extraction. This can unlock critical minerals by significantly reducing the capital, cost, and energy required to mine and extract these resources. The techno |
