nuclear technology evolves with the fusion reactors, the importance of lithium metal will increase. 1.1.8 Medicines Lithium compounds have been used in medicines since 1900’s. It is used in treatment of bipolar disorder and for related diagnoses, such as schizoaffective and cyclic major depression. The healing mechanism of the lithium ion in the body cannot be understood completely [18]. 1.1.9 Hydrogen storage Hydrogen was stored in the form of lithium hydrate in World War 2. Lithium hydrate can be reacted by seawater easily and it gives hydrogen gas as a product. In the literature Ichikawa et al utilized lithium amide and lithium hydride in 1:1 ratio and found a new promising material for the storage of hydrogen. These materials absorb or desorb the hydrogen gas depending on the medium temperature [19]. In another study, Xiong et al. produced a new material by using lithium and sodium aminoborates which was published in “Nature Materials” [20]. These new generation materials are promising in storage of hydrogen gas in future. 1.2 Lithium Sources In nature, lithium cannot be found in pure form, rather it is found in complex form most of the time with aluminum and silicates. The lithium reserves on earth crust are found at low concentrations; between 7 and 60 ppm [21]. The lithium reserves and production amount of lithium compounds in 2012 and 2013, for different countries are given in Table 1.2 [22]–[24]. 4

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.
