Rare Metal R&D Inc

Achieving the recovery of lithium and rare metals from various places and materials.

We are committed to reducing environmental impact and making effective use of resources by developing a wide range of recovery technologies of lithium and rare metals. We have established technologies that enable lithium recovery from various aqueous resources, including brine from salt lakes, geothermal water, hot springs, and seawater. Furthermore, we efficiently recover lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIB) to promote resource circulation. We have also developed recovery technologies for platinum group metals from automotive catalysts, contributing to the reuse of valuable resources. Additionally, we provide technologies for the removal of arsenic and boron from groundwater to ensure safe water resources. These innovative recovery methods have been realized through industry-academia collaboration, including joint research with The University of Kitakyushu, Japan. We will continue to accelerate research and development towards achieving a sustainable society.
