For industry. For tomorrow.
Wet-metallurgy materials, equipment and high-purity refining for rare earths and strategic metals.
Modern industry runs on a short list of elements: rare earths such as Nd, Pr, Y and Tb, alkali metals such as Li, transition metals such as Ni, Cu and Co, and post-transition metals such as Ga and Ge.
Our work starts here, making these metals separable, refinable and usable, and contributing to a stable supply chain for national strategic critical minerals.
Separation begins with materials. EAPHOS developed and commercialized its own solvent extractants, proven in battery-recycling and metal-recovery processes, then extended the same chemistry to ion-exchange resins and membranes.
Around those materials we design modular extraction and refining equipment, so customers get materials and equipment through a single point of contact.
Our first commercial rare-earth refining engagement is a yttria (Y2O3) purification project, the step that moves EAPHOS from materials supplier to refining operator.
From individual rare earths, the direction is toward the wider set of national strategic critical minerals, starting at the Pohang demo plant.
Process streams become products. We are preparing high-purity copper sulfate (CuSO4), nickel sulfate (NiSO4), lithium and sodium-sulfate-based materials.
They serve battery, plating, glass, fertilizer and chemical industries, and recover value from by-products that would otherwise be lost.
Refined metals end up in the systems that shape daily life: next-generation mobility, aircraft and defense, robotics and automation, and housing and construction.
Better materials at the start of the chain make a cleaner, smarter world possible at the end of it.
Detailed materials are provided individually after review, and under NDA where required.
