I-USA Rare Earth ijolise kwi-2024 Ukuqaliswa kweMagnet Manufacturing e-Oklahoma

I-USA Rare Earth iceba ukuqalisa imveliso yemagnethi ye-neodymium kunyaka ozayo kwisityalo sayo e-Stillwater, e-Oklahoma kwaye ibonelele ngemfuyo enqabileyo yomhlaba esembiwa kwipropathi yayo ye-Round Rock eTexas ngasekupheleni kuka-2025 okanye ekuqaleni kuka-2026, inika ingxelo ye-CEO uTom Schneberger kwiMagnetics. Iphephancwadi.

“Kwiziko lethu le-Stillwater, e-Oklahoma, ngoku sakha ngokutsha izinto ezikhoyo ebezivelisa iimagnethi zomhlaba ezinqabileyo e-US. Umgca wethu wokuqala wokuvelisa umazibuthe uza kuvelisa iimagnethi ngo-2024, ”utshilo uSchneberger, ebhekisa kwisixhobo sokuvelisa umazibuthe esathengwa yinkampani yakhe ngo-2020 kwiHitachi Metals America eNorth Carolina kwaye ngoku siyayiphinda. Imveliso yokuqala ekujoliswe kuyo imalunga neetoni ezingama-1,200 ngonyaka.

"Siza kusebenzisa irempu yethu yemveliso, ngo-2024, ukufaneleka iimagnethi esizivelisayo kubathengi abagcine umthamo wemveliso yokuqala. Ngexesha leencoko zabathengi bethu bokuqala, sinokubona ukuba abathengi baya kusidinga ukuba songeze imigca yemveliso elandelayo ukuze sinyuse indawo yethu ye-Stillwater kumthamo wayo we-4,800 MT/yr ngokukhawuleza.

"Sivuya kakhulu malunga nediphozithi ephezulu ejikelezileyo ehlala eSierra Blanca, eTexas," utshilo uSchneberger ephendula isicelo esivela kwiiMagazini zeMagnetic malunga nohlaziyo malunga nesimo sayo. “Yidiphozithi enkulu, eyodwa kwaye iphawulwe kakuhle equlathe zonke izinto ezibalulekileyo ezinqabileyo zomhlaba ezisetyenziswa kwimagnethi. Sisekwisigaba sobunjineli sale projekthi kwaye ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sisendleleni yokuqalisa kade ka-2025 okanye ekuqaleni kuka-2026 ngelo xesha iya kubonelela ngemveliso yethu yemagnethi. Okwangoku, uthe, imveliso yethu yemagnethi iya kubonelelwa ngezinto esizithengayo kubaboneleli abaninzi ngaphandle kweTshayina. ” Indawo ikumzantsi-ntshona we-El Paso kufutshane nomda weMexico.

I-USA Rare Earth inomnini we-80% yenzala kwi-Round Top deposit yomhlaba onzima onqabileyo, i-lithium kunye nezinye idiphozithi yeminerali ebalulekileyo ebekwe e-Hudspeth County, eWest Texas. Yathenga isibonda kwi-Texas Mineral Resources Corp. ngo-2021, kwangaloo nyaka inyuse i-50 yezigidi zeerandi ezongezelelweyo kumjikelo wenkxaso-mali weSeries C.

Ngophuhliso lwayo lwendawo yokusetyenzwa kunye nobunini benkqubo yokuvelisa, ene-sintered neo-magnetic, i-USARE ikulungele ukuba ngumboneleli ohamba phambili wasekhaya wezinto ezikrwada ezibaluleke kakhulu kunye noomazibuthe abaphembelela inguquko yobuchwephesha obuluhlaza. Inkampani ithe iceba ukutyala imali engaphezulu kwe-100 lezigidi zeedola ekuphuhliseni indawo yokuvelisa kwaye emva koko iya kuba sesikhundleni sokusebenzisa izixhobo zayo kunye netekhnoloji yokuguqula iioksidi zomhlaba ezinqabileyo zibe yintsimbi, imagnethi kunye nezinye izinto ezikhethekileyo. Iceba ukuvelisa umgubo womhlaba onqabileyo ohlukanisiweyo ophezulu-ococekileyo kwi-Round Top ukubonelela ngesityalo se-Stillwater. I-Round Top iphinda ivelise iitoni ezili-10,000 ze-lithium ngonyaka kwiibhetri zemoto yombane.

Kolunye uphuhliso, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka inkampani yonyula owayesakuba nguNobhala welizwe laseMelika uMike Pompeo njengomcebisi weqhinga. “Kuyandivuyisa ukujoyina iqela le-USA Rare Earth njengoko sisakha uthungelwano oludityaniswe ngokupheleleyo, olusekwe e-US kwizinto ezinqabileyo zomhlaba kunye neemagnethi ezisisigxina. Ubonelelo lwe-USA Rare Earth lubaluleke kakhulu ukunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwamanye amazwe ngelixa udala imisebenzi eyongezelelweyo yaseMelika, ”utshilo uPompeo. Ngaphambi kokuba abe nguNobhala welizwe wama-70 wesizwe, uPompeo usebenze njengomlawuli we-Arhente yezobuntlola ephakathi, umntu wokuqala ukubamba zombini ezi ndima.

“Siwongekile ukwamkela unobhala uPompeo kwiqela lethu,” utshilo uSchneberger. “Inkonzo yakhe karhulumente wase-US edityaniswe nemvelaphi yakhe yokwenza i-aerospace ibonelela ngembono exabisekileyo njengoko sisenza ikhonkco lonikezelo olusekwe ngokupheleleyo e-US. Unobhala uPompeo uyakuqonda ukubaluleka kokuqina kobonelelo kunye nesidingo esibalulekileyo sesisombululo sasekhaya. ”

Isixhobo sokuqala kwiplanti yeStillwater sinembali yaso. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2011, u-Hitachi wabhengeza ulwakhiwo olunezigaba lwendawo yokwenziwa kwemagnethi yomhlaba ekumgangatho ophezulu, eceba ukuchitha ukuya kuthi ga kwi-60 yezigidi zeedola kwiminyaka emine. Nangona kunjalo, emva kokusonjululwa kwengxabano yorhwebo yomhlaba enqabileyo phakathi kweTshayina neJapan, iHitachi yavala isityalo eNorth Carolina ngo-2015 emva kweminyaka engaphantsi kwemibini yokusebenza.
