HPQ's technology provider PyroGenesis Canada informed HPQ that the GEN3 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor (QRR) has started processing material.
"Starting the carbothermic reaction in our new state-of-the-art prototype, a reactor that will produce approximately 2,500 times more product than GEN2, was a complex undertaking, and it’s what makes our patented technology so revolutionary compared to traditional processing methods," said Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Inc.
