SHARE THIS E-BOOK: precipitation will usually require several steps, as you need to precipitate and isolate the lithium (usually in the form of lithium chloride), and further separate it out. For example, a study done by the Bureau of Mines was able to yield a 99% recovery of lithium with precipitation. First, they treated brine samples with a lime slurry to increase the pH. Next, they used filtration technologies to remove iron, manganese, lead, and zinc. The resulting lithium/aluminum precipitate was then dissolved, separated, and evaporated out in a series of mixing, rinsing, and filtration steps. Evaporation Lithium brine recovery by evaporation is typically a straightforward but lengthy process that can take anywhere from several months to a few years to complete. Brine is distributed among evaporation ponds for a period of months or years until most of the liquid water content has been removed through solar or wind evaporation. Facilities usually operate several large evaporation ponds of various ages and may extract other metals (e.g. potassium) from younger ponds while waiting for the lithium content to reach a concentration optimal for further processing. In some cases, and as mentioned prior, RO is used to concentrate the lithium brine to speed up the evaporation process. Once the brine in an evaporation pond has reached an ideal lithium concentration, the brine is pumped to a lithium recovery facility for extraction using the pretreatment, chemical treatment, filtration, and lithium production steps mentioned in chapter one.

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.
