Critical mineral processing is a chemistry problem.

Chemical Intelligence for Industrial Independence.

01 — Vision

  1. Fig. 01

    Raw materials

    Ore, tailings, and hydrocarbons are highly heterogeneous. The value is present, but entangled.

  2. Fig. 02

    Processing

    Mixed material streams must be riven apart with complex chemical and physical separations.

    Refined materials

    Before use, each element is brought to the grade and purity its application demands.

    Technology

    Refined inputs are the material basis of civilization. At-risk supply endangers everything downstream.

Though critical minerals underpin every facet of modern industry, the West has ceded the vast majority of global processing capacity to China. Riven will address this by integrating autonomous laboratories, computational modeling, and AI to deploy new capacity more quickly and economically. Our first product is a platform for designing, scaling up, and operating mineral processing facilities.
