At the end of last year lithium major Livent (now Arcadium Lithium) bought a minority stake in ILiAD Technologies, a California-based company that has spent years developing technology to produce lithium from various brines using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). The company’s adsorption technology has been developed over seven years of research and pilot testing with its parent company Energy Source Minerals, a developer of projects in the Salton Sea in California. It has also delivered its DLE technology to other companies such as Kansas-based Compass Minerals. The process can be used to recover high-purity lithium chloride from lithium-laden brine resources around the world. Arcadium Lithium said it could deploy ILiAD’s technology as soon as 2025 in Argentina. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence's interview with ILiAD's CEO Samuel Moore is well worth a read! https://lnkd.in/gP9furzA #lithium #criticalminerals #extraction #energytransition #automotive #innovation #tech

Unconventional Lithium Resources & Extraction Methods with Lukasz Bednarski from IHS Markit. This presentation based on the new research report provides an overview of novel extraction methods from unconventional lithium deposits. It provides risk analysis of unconventional lithium extraction methods and explores their impact on supply and demand forecast. The presentation also highlights the importance of novel extraction methods for regionalisation of battery supply chain and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/eBq6Gaa6 Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

PRESS RELEASE announcing IBC's new subsidiary - GreenLiT Pure Lithium, Inc. - which will commercialize IBC’s proprietary #DirectLithiumtoProduct (DLP™) process and help meet the booming #lithium demand by providing a direct route to produce lithium end-products including lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate.   Steven R. Izatt, President and CEO of IBC commented, “GreenLiT Pure Lithium™ is poised to completely revolutionize the production of lithium by providing a rapid, direct path to battery-grade lithium end-products and avoiding the unnecessary secondary processing that plagues conventional and direct lithium extraction (#DLE) processes, which are environmentally damaging and result in large lithium losses. The DLP™ process completely avoids the need to first produce lithium carbonate before producing lithium hydroxide. Highly efficient water and energy usage by the DLP™ process provides an eco-friendly platform for #sustainable lithium production. Strategic alliance and equity investment discussions are underway to further strengthen the position of GreenLiT™ in the marketplace.”   Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/gs-_eVYb Visit the GreenLiT Pure Lithium™ website: https://lnkd.in/gFWPdMtm

Can #CarbonCapture be applied to smelters? 🏭 Yes, is the answer after a successful #MobileTestUnit campaign at Elkem ASA’s Rana plant in Norway. The campaign was the world’s first carbon capture pilot for the smelter industry and has demonstrated a capture rate of up to 95% 🌍 "The key learnings from this pilot help us know how to optimize our plants for potential future implementation of carbon capture," said Elkem ASA's Climate Director, Trond Saeterstad. The Mobile Test Unit is a complete carbon capture plant, mobile and modular. The Mobile Test Unit utilizes Aker Carbon Capture’s Advanced Carbon Capture™ technology fully installed, meaning that results from test campaigns are scalable toward large-scale plants. The Mobile Test Unit includes all functions found in our large-scale systems and is built for operation at a wide range of flue gases and locations.
