CHAPTER 2: Project Approach Project Organization The project was organized according to the following technical tasks. Task 1. Sorbent Preparation The objective of this task was to develop synthetic methods for the preparation of hybrid sorbent beads containing an inorganic ion sieve and a lithium-imprinted polymer. As starting material, SRI chose to use spinel lithium manganese oxide as the inorganic ion sieve because of its well-known high lithium uptake capacity and selectivity, and the team combined it with a formulation of lithium-imprinted polymer. The team prepared batches of hybrid sorbent beads of variable composition and screened their properties. The period of performance of this task was 12 months. A confidential sorbent preparation report was prepared to summarize the work done. Task 2. Sorbent Qualification Test in Lab-Scale Column The goal of this task was to characterize the adsorption properties of the sorbent prepared in Task 1 by testing the performance of the hybrid sorbent beads in small lab-scale flow-through columns. The team planned to evaluate the sorbent lithium uptake capacity, selectivity, and kinetics of adsorption. The period of performance of this task was nine months. A confidential test plan and sorbent qualification report were prepared. Task 3. Sorbent Regeneration Testing The goal of this task was to demonstrate regeneration of the lithiated sorbent with CO2 (gas). The modality of using carbon dioxide (CO2), and various experimental conditions were tested to optimize the regeneration process. The period of performance of this task was nine months. A confidential test plan and regeneration test reports were prepared at the end of this task. Task 4. Additional Sorbent Preparation The goal of this task was to prepare additional sorbent to support the second half of the project. The focus was to continue development of new formulations to enhance performance of the hybrid sorbent beads. This task was performed for nine months. An additional confidential sorbent preparation report was prepared at the end of this task. Task 5. Process Integration and Testing The goal of this task was to integrate adsorption and regeneration cycles and use automated testing equipment to evaluate the performance of the sorbent upon continued cycling. 8PDF Image | Selective Recovery of Lithium 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)
