Livium

1. Executed the exclusive global licence agreement with the University of Melbourne and confirmed the technology.
2. Developing supply of REE magnets and solar panels to support strategic objectives.
3. Providing support to advance the microwave extraction technology.

What we've delivered so far

The University prepares a report on small scale-up test results and secures grant funding for the next stage.

Stage 1 / TRL 2-3

Scale-up Testing

Design and build of a prototype-scale microwave reactor, with REE product test results from the scaled plant.

Stage 2 / TRL 3-4

Prototype Reactor

Livium commercialises with production from an initial pilot plant, leading to the first commercial sale.

Stage 3 / TRL 5-9

Commercialisation

Magnetic material concentrated ahead of leaching.

4. Pre-Processing

Recovered REEs processed locally or traded internationally.

5. Processing

REE magnets and e-waste collected from customers for a service fee.

1. Collection

Responsibly stored at our
recycling facilities.

2. Storage

Feedstock sorted and prepared
for extraction.

3. Material Preparation

 to explore the use of microwave technology for rare earth extraction, developed with the University of Melbourne. The selective-leaching approach uses localised superheating to recover rare earths at high rates while dramatically cutting energy use.

The technology is currently at TRL3, with the project aiming to scale up 100x toward TRL 5-6. Livium provides feedstock and technical input while the University continues test work at larger scale.

 than conventional "Hot Block" digestion.

Higher target-metal concentrates, with less acid and reagent use.

Reduced wastewater and easier solid-liquid separation.

Optional extension to platinum group metals (PGMs).
