membrane fouling, and the lithium-enriched eluate is further concentrated by reverse osmosis before the remaining divalent ions (Ca+ and Mg+) are removed in a secondary ion-exchange circuit. The purified brine, containing mostly Li+, K+ and Na+ cations, is suitable for electrolysis and crystallization to form LiOH·H2O, while water removed from the brine prior to electrolysis can be used as make-up water for lithium processing. The electrolysis process forms a weak sulfuric acid stream, which is recycled to the elution stage, reducing the need for purchase of large quantities of reagent. A schematic representation of the process is shown in Figure A-4. Figure A-4. Schematic representation and process flow chart of E3 Metal Corp.’s lithium extraction process E3 Metals Corp. (2020) A.7 Anson Resources Anson Resources Paradox Basin project is located in Utah and consists of three phases of development (Anson Resources 2020). Phase 1 is focused on bromine extraction. Phase 2 will construct and operate a pilot-scale lithium extraction plant with results informing the final process design for a commercial-scale lithium extraction operation in Phase 3. The PEA for Phase 3 was retracted soon after it was released because of its significant reliance on inferred resources. Despite that, the information about the proposed lithium extraction process and estimates of costs remain valid, separate from the issue of overall project viability. The bromine-lithium brine is hosted in sedimentary units ~1,900 m below surface that are intersected by historic hydrocarbon wells. The brine is estimated to contain 192,000 mt LCE with lithium concentrations up to 253 mg/L. A single-pass, ion-exchange process will be tested 36 This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www.nrel.gov/publications.PDF Image | Lithium Extraction from Geothermal Brines

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine
ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
