Reduced electrical and thermal consumption
Our objective is to deliver an unrivalled 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. Our technology allows improved competitivity compared to lithium produced from hard rock spodumene mines.
