Technology
Disruptive Advantages
- Lithium extraction recovery up to 99%
- Very selective : no extraction of Mg, B, K or SO₄
- LiCl purity up to 99% before downstream additional purification if needed.
- Very short access route to Li2CO3 and LiOH.H2O.
- Concentration factor up to 20
- Minimal water consumption.
- The lowest CAPEX and OPEX on the market
- remarkably favorable carbon footprint.
- No use of reagents: no lime, acids, etc. required
- No pH modification along the process
- Very low environmental impact.
Reduced electrical and thermal consumption
Our objective is to produce a high 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. This also results in a CAPEX and OPEX reduction up to -40% for the production of lithium from brines. Allows improved competitivity with lithium produced from hard rock spodumene mines.
