Metallium completes 12-hour continuous run of its Flash Joule Heating reactor, advancing e-waste metal recovery tech.

Metallium Limited successfully completed a 12-hour continuous operation of its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) reactor at its Texas facility, validating the stability and automation of its technology. This milestone reduces risks for scaling up to multiple reactors, which will enhance throughput for recovering critical and precious metals from e-waste. The technology supports low-carbon, high-efficiency extraction of valuable metals like gallium, germanium, and rare earth elements, aligning with U.S. goals for domestic critical mineral supply. Next steps involve deploying multiple reactors under integrated control to expand commercial operations.
