Industrialization
From Proof of concept to Industrial plant design
Process performance modeling
Adionics has developed a mathematical model to predict the performance of extraction, washing and regeneration of a large spectrum of brine types. This allows to proceed with preliminary process optimisation of the whole value chain up to high purity Lithium Chloride, Lithium Carbonate or Lithium Hydroxyde.
