Key words: lithium production, sodium sulphite, chemical lithium extraction, brines, lithium- ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate. INTRODUCTION The demand for lithium production worldwide has experienced a dramatic increase in recent years, mainly due to the growth of the rechargeable lithium battery market, and an even higher increase is expected in coming years due to the expansion of lithium battery applications in electric vehicles, portable devices and grid storage.1–5 Consequently, the development of alternative methods of lithium production is urgently needed to cope with the increasing demands.6–9 Around 60% of the global lithium resources are in the form of highly saline solutions, called lithium brines, which contain cations such as Na+, K+ and Mg2+ in much higher concentrations than that of Li+.6,8 Unfortunately, current methods of lithium production can only be applied to a narrow range of brine compositions,6 and hence, it is necessary to develop new methods able to extract lithium ions selectively, in the presence of a vast excess of other cations, since that would enable a massive increase in the lithium production. Several methods for lithium sequestration from brines have been explored and the use of lithium battery materials to enable the selective lithium extraction from brines appears particularly promising, as illustrated in table 1. 2

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.
