Momentum Technologies (Momentum) is a U.S.-based critical minerals company advancing national security and supply chain resilience through its proprietary Membrane Solvent Extraction (MSX) technology, originally developed with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) with support from the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) Critical Materials Innovation Hub. Momentum has proven the ability to recover lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements—including both light and heavy REEs—from battery scrap, magnet swarf, and other complex feedstocks at commercial purity levels. With a successfully operating demonstration plant in Carrollton, TX and a commercial plant in development, Momentum is demonstrating rapid, low-cost, and modular scale-up.
