Lithium Ark

What amazing conference #ICHS2024, really deep-dive in circular hydrometallurgy, but with an open mind towards the industry and the great motivation to greenify processing. We have learned a lot and it was amazing we could give a presentation together showing the different lithium refineries and their environmental footprint. We can greenify the supply chain at lower investment costs and lower operational costs. Lower investment costs mean also lower CO2 footprint, but this is unfortunately not taken in count in the actual LCA's. Chapeau for the Organizer Koen Binnemans, Peter Tom Jones and Rabab Nasser. Beside that, we made a lot of new friends. Please find enclosed our presentation with more technical detail #lithium

This was an intensive week! We had a great presentation in DLE conference in München where we presented our LCA results. We are so glad that Greener have not to be more Expensive, even it can be significant lower in costs. So we are on the road to spread the good news. We still have 2 weeks more to go in our roadshow in September: 1st International Circular Hydrometallurgy Symposium - ICHS 2024 https://lnkd.in/emFiey-y This would be great, really looking forward to go to real technical conference with all professors and doctors. The week after we go to a more commercial conference: Fastmarkets BRM in Amsterdam, here we are doing our commercial work as we learned that marketing is definitely art and can be more difficult and even more expensive than developing a process. Lithium Ark wants to greenify the lithium supply chain, taking reagents out of the supply chain, but with lower carbon footprint, therefore we developed and patented a new innovative process using conventional equipment, but let the chemistry work for us in it outmost efficient way. We suggest that the extractors or refiners produce lithium hydroxide directly from lithium chloride. Please come to meet us in both conference. #LCA #lithium #CO2free #batteries #potassiumnitrate #potassiumchloride #potassiumhydroxide #electrolysis https://lnkd.in/eKyfHrR3

Brendan Jephcott just posted a flowsheet of the Tianqi operation and we thought this is perfect way to show how the Green+ process can be applied saving the investment and operational costs and above all the excess production of sodium sulfate.

Aftermath Fastmarkets Las Vegas Lithium Conference Lithium Ark was nominated for the Volta Awards of best project. Unfortunately we did not win. En general we really want the lithium supply chain to win, and to reach this goal, we still have work to do and learn how to market our technology to achieve our mission “ decarbonize the lithium supply chain” at the lowest operational and investment costs. In case we would win, I had a short speech prepared. I really wanted to dedicate the award to my parents. In the months before the conference, I lost both parents within a time span of 43 days, and this is and has been a difficult period. My parents have been a great example of unconditional love, love that also gave me the freedom to grow, explore the world and end-up in the world of lithium.  The Green+ process has been developed with the “Nobel” feeling. My son started to study Circular engineering at University of Maastricht, a new career were the students start with the mindset of a circular economy, eliminating waste streams  and optimizing reagent and energy usage. The expansion of the lithium production applying the actual process is not scalable, and the environmental impact is already getting significant in Chile and Argentina. As process developer, I felt the moral obligation to design an innovative process, that avoid the reagents use and can simply use preferable green energy. For Chile, Argentina and Bolivia with a future production over the  550,000 tons of LCE/year will results over 1,200,000 tons of soda ash (Na2CO3) shipped (mainly) from the USA to the South American generating waste halite on the Salt Flats, which seems ironic  The complete supply chain will be depent on the supply chain of sodium carbonate. Then we expect also a future requirement over at least 250,000 ton/year HCl 33%. While the brine sources are slow to get in production due to technical, economical and political reasons, China is filling their kilns with lepidolite, emitting up 33 times more CO2 than the Ark Green+ and as results setting a new lithium carbonate price coupled to their production cost of processing  lepidolite around the 14,000 USD/ton. Applying the Green+ process, lithium chloride can be the new intermediate product, the extractors will have lower investment cost, less environmental impact at the mine site and higher margen, resulting a faster time frame to get the project financed and up and running. The lithium chloride is the perfect feed material fro Green+ to make lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. Lithium Ark will continue to preach their solution fro decarbonizing the coming year. In September we will assist at several conference, which we will inform later this month. Stay Safe, Stay Green #Lithium #esg #EV #electrolysis #sodaash #HCl #CO2

We've been shortlisted for the Fastmarkets Voltas Awards 2024, celebrating battery raw materials supply chain excellence. Time has become to de-carbonize the lithium supply chain. Please come to join and meet us at the conference, contact us directly or through the Swapcard application. June 25 | Las Vegas. #VOLTASAwards #FastmarketsLBRM https://lnkd.in/e9wqiepn

Lithium Ark Holding B.V. is on Tour in June. We will be actively involved in the DIRECT LITHIUM EXTRACTION SUMMIT 2024 on Tuesday, 18th and Wednesday, 19th in Uxbridge, England. We will be contributing as a speaker, moderator, and panelist, sharing insights on how our Green+ Lithium process is revolutionizing and de-carbonizing the lithium supply chain. Looking forward to engaging with industry experts at the summit. hashtag. The week after we will be heading to Las Vegas. Updates follow soon! #DLE hashtag #Lithium hashtag #sustainability Check out more details about the event and our participation here: https://lnkd.in/eDfDxVZ6

Lithium Ark Holding B.V. is thrilled to announce our nomination by Fastmarkets for the Best Project Award for our new generation of Lithium Refineries. We are honored to be recognized for our efforts in advancing the decarbonization of the lithium supply chain while reducing operational and capital costs. Our cutting-edge technologies have enabled us to avoid using reagents and generate high-value co-products like potassium nitrate, potassium chloride, chlorine, or hydrochloric acid. Our team's hard work and dedication to developing sustainable energy solutions for the world have placed us at the forefront of this movement. We're proud to be shaping the future of the industry and look forward to continuing our work in driving innovation. #Lithium #innovation #technology #FastmarketsVoltaAwards

Attention all Lithium Extractors:   Imagine a Lithium World where the “scenic route” is also the “shortest distance” traveled. We offer the GreenifyTM Lithium refining process which eliminates the need for Soda Ash, Lime and Lithium Carbonate in the production of battery-grade Lithium Hydroxide. No more down-shifting to reagents, waste and carbon(ate) handling.   Ask us how our technology enables brine extractors using solar evaporation or DLE to directly convert Lithium Chloride feedstock into Lithium Hydroxide. Discover how your company can take a detour around carbon-intensive processing and financial waste. Experience the adventure of saving the environment and turbo charging your company’s finances, all at the same time. Let the tour begin!   If you want to know more please contact us, or meet us at  Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) the world’s premier mineral & mining convention in Toronto.

Dear followers, The DLE conference in Los Angeles was eye opening for us and for the people who saw our presentation and came pass by the booth for a chat. What we learned: There are a variety of DLE technologies available in the market. Not all DLE technologies can be applied at each brine resource. Nevertheless, Lithium Ark Greenify Lithium Process serves all DLE technologies. Lithium Chloride will be the new intermedium product for lithium hydroxide, avoiding the use of sodium carbonate and lime, adding more value to the supply chain, avoiding almost all reagent consumption and transport and without generating waste. Please find enclosed our presentation. Thanks for your time. #DLE #lithium #electrolysis
