Paris, May 2023 – ADIONICS has succeeded in extracting lithium from Argentina brine during two pilotscale tests conducted in the pilot test center of K-UTEC. It is a major advance in the field of Direct Lithium Extraction by producing a purified lithium chloride concentrate with brines coming from LITICA RESOURCES, a major player in Mining & Metals sector. Based on its proprietary technology for carbonation, K-UTEC was able to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate directly from the reextracted concentrate, requiring only minor brine polishing steps.
