Table 1.3 Commercially valuable lithium minerals Minerals Spodumene Lepidolite Amblygonite Triphylite Petalite Bikitaite Eucryptite Zabuyelite Formula LiAlSi2O6 or Li2OAl2O34SiO2 LiKAl2F2Si3O9 or LiFKFAl2O33SiO2 LiAlFPO4 or 2LiFAl2O3P2O5 LiFePO4 or Li2O 2FeOP2O5 LiAlSi4O10 or Li2OAl2O38SiO2 LiAlSi2O6H2O LiAlSiO4 Li2CO3 Lithium content (%) 3.73 3.56 4.74 4.40 2.27 3.28 5.53 18.75 The biggest lithium mineral producers were Sons of Gwalia (Australia) with 150,000 tons, Bikita (Zimbabve) with 55,000 tons, and Tanco (Canada) with 21,000 tons in 2002 [29]. 1.2.2 Clays Clays are fine-grained rocks that consist of mostly metal oxides and silicates. Hectorite is one of the famous clays which is rich is in lithium and magnesium having 0.3 to 0.6 % Li [21]. The by-product of boron mine in Bigadiç-Balıkesir in Turkey can be considered as a rich lithium clay which has 0.3 % Li. 1.2.3 Brines Besides minerals, brines are another important lithium sources. The concentration of lithium in brines is lower than minerals but the total amount of lithium in brines makes up to 66 % of the world lithium resources. The brines with a commercial importance in production of lithium are listed in Table 1.4 [21]. 6PDF Image | SEPARATION OF LITHIUM 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 |
