American Renewable Metals LLC
America’s Waste, America’s Critical Minerals
America's waste.
America's critical minerals.
ARM's patented separation platform recovers rare earth oxides, aluminum, zinc, gallium and other critical minerals and valuable co-products from various feedstocks including coal ash, mine tailings, and end-of-life electronics — turning environmental liabilities into domestic supply.
Validation
7+ years of DOE, EPRI, and other sponsored R&D
Intellectual Property
U.S. Patent No. 12,215,408 (exclusive worldwide license) + ARM-owned patents pending
Operations
Operating pilot & demonstration facility in Bessemer, Alabama
Who We Are
The resource isn't the bottleneck. Processing is.
The United States holds vast reserves of critical minerals — locked inside coal ash ponds, mine tailings, and retired electronics.
American Renewable Metals built the processing platform: a closed-loop system that extracts, separates, and purifies critical minerals from waste feedstocks at a fraction of the cost and time of conventional solvent extraction, on modular equipment that deploys where the feedstock already sits.
1.
Dissolve
Feedstock is digested under controlled conditions, transferring target metals into solution. Undissolved silica exits as high-grade pozzolan for the cement market.
2.
Separate
Continuous ion exchange splits the solution into discrete metal streams based on the distinct chemistry of their chloride complexes.
3.
Purify
Simulated moving bed chromatography resolves the mixture into individual high-purity products, including separated rare earth oxides.
4.
Recycle
Acid and reagents return to the front of the process. The closed loop is what changes the economics — and the footprint.
Proof, Not Promises
Products you can hold, from waste nobody wanted.
Every stage of ARM's platform — bench, pilot, demonstration — was funded and reviewed by federal agencies, industry research institutes, and the utilities and manufacturers who would use it.
