🔋 Unraveling the Dynamics: Lithium Carbonate (Li2CO3) vs. Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) What factors influence the selection of one salt over the other? Let's delve into the intricacies...... Lithium Carbonate emerges from brines laden with Lithium chloride, while LiOH is extracted from lithium-containing spodumene minerals found in robust hard rock formations. 🏞️ Li2CO3 takes the lead in crafting LFP cathodes, thanks to its cost-effective processing. However, its thermal stability falls short compared to LiOH, making it less suited for high-performance batteries. For those pushing the boundaries with high-performance batteries, Lithium Hydroxide steals the spotlight. With a melting point of 462°C, LiOH allows reactions at lower temperatures. This not only enhances control over crystal growth but also contributes to the formation of a finer CAM a game-changer for battery performance📈. Enter NMC811 or NCA batteries, where LiOH shines as the preferred choice. Yet, this excellence comes at a cost – LiOH demands an additional processing step compared to Li2CO3, making it a pricier alternative. 💸 Between Li2CO3 and LiOH, each salt plays a unique role, shaping the landscape of battery technology. 💡 #BatteryTech #LithiumSalts #EnergyInnovation #lithium #lithiumionbatteries #lithiummining #ev #batterymaterials #batterymanufacturing

#Flotation Reagent (Collector) Certainly! The collector, such as Sodium ethyl xanthate, has a structure with polar and non-polar parts. When a valuable mineral is exposed to the collector, it changes from being hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The polar part(straight line) attract towards the particle, while the non-polar(Zig Zag) part remains outside, making the outer part of the sulfide particle hydrophobic(water repellent). However, oxide ores might still be difficult to float despite the addition of a collector. This concept mainly applies to sulfide ores. #mineralprocessing

**Lithium Extraction and the Challenges of Reverse Osmosis** As the world pivots towards sustainable electric transport systems, the demand for lithium skyrockets. Lithium, sourced from salars, rocks and potentially progressively from other sources as geothermal brine, is crucial in this transition. However, extracting lithium through this method involves a key step: reverse osmosis (RO). That’s where we come in! RO systems, while effective, can encounter certain issues:       ▶️ Scaling: Accumulation of minerals on membrane surfaces.       ▶️ Fouling: Degradation of membrane efficiency due to accumulated impurities.       ▶️ Oxidation Damage: Deterioration of membranes due to chemical reactions. These challenges can significantly impact the efficiency and lifespan of the reverse osmosis system. But there’s good news: these problems can be addressed with the right chemical treatments. ✔️ At Genesys - PWT, we specialize in tackling these exact challenges. Our expertise in developing and manufacturing specialized RO membrane chemicals, antiscalants, cleaners, flocculants, and biocides is unmatched. We understand the intricacies of managing membranes in lithium mining systems and offer tailored solutions to optimize your operations. 💬 If you are encountering issues with your RO systems or are looking to prevent potential problems, reach out to us today: 👉 sales.chemicals@h2oinnovation.com #WaterTreatment #Lithium #Energy #Sustainability Thanks to Salt Separation Services Limited for the image!

The use of Hydrochloric Acid for regeneration of sorbents leads to significant reduction in life of these sorbents, thus making Direct Lithium Extraction a very expensive process. Using hydrochloric acid for regeneration of the sorbents leads to loss of capacity with each cycle, the capacity loss can be as high as 8% in each cycle and reduces the life of these sorbents to 30-50 cycles. So, what is the solution? It’s pretty simple, do not use Hydrochloric acid for regeneration and that’s what we do. The solution sounds simple, but the process to get there took us years. ExSorbtion uses CO2 gas instead of Hydrochloric acid for regeneration, which ensures that sorbents last for over 500 cycles leading to the best unit economics for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). Additionally, the use of CO2 gas allows us to directly produce Lithium Carbonate instead of Lithium Chloride (which is the case with every other DLE company) which then needs further processing to convert to Lithium Carbonate Learn more about our CO2 regeneration process that enables the best unit economics for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). https://lnkd.in/dN4hb7kH #DLE #Lithium #DirectLithiumExSorbtion #CriticalMaterials #CriticalMinerals #Batteries #DomesticManufacturing #LithiumIon

“If it can’t be grown, it must be mined”. Essential commodities for the growing world are sourced from Earth (mined), including metals, minerals and others. After being mined, flotation is the workhorse for the extraction of the economically valuable mineral just simply using air and water (with a minimal need of expensive reagents). But what could happen if the mineral dissolves in water? The conventional concepts of flotation no longer work, yet creating a fascinating field of water-soluble mineral flotation.
