Critical minerals, rare earth and battery minerals
Australia has among the world’s largest recoverable resources of critical and battery minerals including significant rare earth elements (REEs) deposits. Critical minerals such as Lithium, Alumina, Nickel, Tungsten, Vanadium, Zirconium, Niobium, Magnesium, Manganese, Antimony, Cobalt and others are essential components in various high-tech applications supporting the world’s energy transition to net zero, including batteries, renewable energy, electronics and defense technologies. Alfa Laval has a wide range of equipment and application experience, together with local service capabilities, to optimize critical mineral processes and extraction applications.

We’re showcasing technologies that help mining operations do more with less at the Critical Mineral Conference 2025. From solid-bowl centrifuges, to GPHEs and spiral heat exchangers that optimize heat recovery and reduce water use - our solutions are built for demanding environments.
