Learn more about processing lithium to battery-grade, downstream of direct lithium extraction.
This free infographic brochure shows how membrane, thermal, and chemical water technologies fit into various stages of lithium production:
Saltworks’ Lithium Test Centre combines expertise and industry-leading technology to provide innovative solutions for processing lithium chloride into battery-grade outputs. The Centre is dedicated to de-risking lithium processing projects and accelerating full-scale implementation.
From electronics to electric vehicles, the world increasingly runs on lithium ion technology. Saltworks’ advanced water processing and resource extraction technologies contribute to multiple parts of the lithium value chain, including recycling lithium ion batteries to close the loop on valuable production materials including lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
Saltworks brings water mining expertise and advanced desalination technologies to our lithium clients, offering solutions for concentrating, refining, and converting low-grade lithium sources to battery-grade product. We offer higher purity and lower energy processing technology, that boosts yield, removes unit operations, and reduces cost.
Recovering lithium in evaporation ponds can take a year or more and leaves behind lots of salt waste, but there are new technologies and processes that offer exciting options for lithium extraction.
