Applications

ADIONICS’ technology is applicable to a wide range of Lithium rich brines which allow us to answer to several market challenges. Our technology offers an unique solution to meet the growing demand for lithium across multiple markets, ensuring sustainable access to this critical resource for future technological advancements and economic growth.

Lithium Rich Salars

Our technology can be applied directly with natural brines or with pre concentrated brines (from evaporation ponds) allowing hybrid systems.

ADIONICS’ technology makes it possible to achieve lithium extraction yields from 85 to 99% when the historical process ranges between 35 and 60%.

Overall Lithium reserves from brines are considerably increased as we unlock access to magnesium and sulfate rich brines not usable by the usual processing schemes.

battery Recycling

Battery recycling reduces dependency on primary lithium sources, promotes sustainability, and contributes to a more resilient and environmentally friendly battery supply chain.

By recovering valuable materials from spent batteries, recycling supports the transition towards a circular economy where resources are reused and recycled to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.

Geothermal

Unlock the potential from geothermal brines.

When geothermal heat is valorized from lithium rich brines, ADIONICS’ Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) can be applied on cooled brines with no need for solubilized ionic metal removal pre-treatment. Lithium salt and other metallic salts can be valorized.

Industrial Effluents & oil and gas brines

Industrial processes produce effluents containing trace amounts of lithium. Our disruptive technology can be used to extract lithium from these effluents, providing a way to recover lithium as a valuable resource.

Our technology can be integrated into oil and gas operations to extract lithium from these brines, providing an additional revenue stream and helping to offset the environmental impact of brine disposal.

Our objective is to deliver an unrivalled selectivity in the extraction phase and to ensure a very high purity of the lithium produced, resulting in the elimination of numerous purification steps compared to the production of lithium by evaporation. Our technology allows improved competitivity compared to lithium produced from hard rock spodumene mines. By pioneering advanced DLE and embracing sustainable practices, ADIONICS is playing a vital role in the future of lithium extraction and contributing to the development of a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
