Novel method of lithium production from brines combining battery material and sodium sulphite as a cheap and environmentally friendly reducing agent Sara Pérez-Rodrígueza, James Andy Miltonb, Nuria Garcia-Araeza,* a: Chemistry, University of Southampton, Highfield Campus, SO17 1BJ Southampton, UK b: Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton, SO14 3ZH Southampton, UK *Corresponding author: n.garcia-araez@soton.ac.uk Abstract The growing increase in the global demand for lithium for the production of lithium batteries demands for the development of alternative, fast, environmental-friendly and cost-effective technologies for lithium production. Most lithium resources are in the form of brines, which are concentrated saline solutions containing lithium in the presence of an excess of other cations (primarily, sodium, magnesium and potassium). The use of lithium battery materials has been shown to be highly advantageous for the selective sequestration of lithium from brines, thus achieving the efficient separation of lithium from other cations and, with this, facilitating the production of the highly pure Li2CO3 required for the battery industry. The sequestration of lithium by battery material can be driven by electricity or redox agents, and the later has advantages in terms of the simplicity of the reactor design for large scale production. A critical aspect in the use of redox agents is the cost and environmental compatibility. Here we demonstrate the use of a novel redox reagent, sodium sulphite, that is cheap, non-toxic and induces fast lithium sequestration reactions. 1PDF Image | Novel method of lithium production from 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 | RSS | AMP |
