The Proceedings includes research from the symposium held at the Conference of Metallurgy & Materials. This volume spans a wide range of the critical materials ecosystem. Readers will find discussions on commodities such as lithium (from both brines and mineral resources), rare earth elements (processing and separation), nickel/cobalt/manganese, and vanadium, among others (such as battery recycling). In addition to exciting developments in harnessing these critical materials, industrial perspectives on project development, commercialization/scale-up, operational performance, intellectual property trends, and public policy initiatives supporting critical minerals development form a basis for lively discussion. As global demand for critical minerals continues to grow—alongside the list of what is considered “critical”—the development of practical, sustainable, and economically viable processes to provide them at scale remains a focus. The contributions in these proceedings reflect the urgency, complexity, and opportunity associated with critical materials value chains.
