A silvery-white metallic d-block element, Scandium is historically classified as a rare-earth element (REE) and is on the EU list of critical raw materials.

The Greek bauxite which is processed by Mytilineos is relatively rich in scandium and likewise produces bauxite residues that are rich in scandium.

The experimental or pilot plant for extracting scandium under the SCALE project initiated operations a year ago at the Aluminium of Greece facility in Voiotia.

Outlook for the Indian Aluminium Industry

The project has governed to expand the concentration of scandium from bauxite residues by 2,500 times by implementing an innovative technique.

The rare earth element, Scandium is indispensable for several technologies that comprise the critical ones such as state-of-the-art and high-performance power generation plants, ultra-efficient lasers, and extremely durable and lightweight aluminium alloys for aerospace applications.
