MP Materials mines and processes rare earth minerals and is committed to sustainability and conservation. The salt crystallizer is part of their closed-loop tailings and concentrate dewatering method, which allows them to recycle water with minimal loss and with no process water having to be disposed of. The crystallizer extracts dissolved salt from the recycled water. I chose to photograph the salt crystallizer from multiple angles as well as from inside its six stories.
