Molycorp, Inc.
MCP ("Molycorp" or the "Company") today announced that
the chloralkali plant at Mountain Pass, California, is now mechanically
complete and that full-scale commissioning operations have commenced.
The chloralkali plant will recycle wastewater and produce hydrochloric acid
and caustic soda used as part of the rare earth separations process. Company
officials said that once fully operational and optimized, the chloralkali
plant is expected to help the facility achieve its cash production cost
targets, which the Company believes will make it competitive with the lowest
cost producers globally.
The Company also confirmed that the final unit of its multi-stage cracking
plant at Mountain Pass is now mechanically complete and is being
commissioned. The unit is part of a multi-stage chemical process designed to
increase the facility's current rare earth recovery rates, increase production
throughput, and contribute to lower unit production costs.
