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 technology will directly increase the titanium, zirconium, and rare earth minerals extracted in the USA, decreasing the reliance of foreign sources by increasing efficiency and reducing waste; this will allow low-grade deposits to be economically viable. This technology will increase mine life, extending higher paying jobs in rural areas. As this technology develops, other mining sectors beyond heavy mineral sands mines, such as iron ore, tin, garnet, chromite, and tungsten will also benefit from this advancement. The technology developed through this SBIR program can be coupled with other proprietary technologies to create specialized versions tailored to customer needs. This technology will create a broad-based platform for future growth of products and services for the company. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a novel method for extracting critical minerals Ilmenite (Titanium), Zircon, and Monazite, containing Praseodymium, Neodymium, D
