Active Technical Panels

Technologies for Recovery of Critical Minerals from Mining-Influenced Water

The EMRTAI is working with technology developers on bench-scale and pilot-scale technology assessments focused on recovery of REEs, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and copper. A Technical Panel of experts was assembled to provide input to the development and review of the QAPPs. The Technical Panel will provide a peer review of the Technology Assessment Report that is generated for each technology assessment.
