Table 3.43 The elution of the column saturated with artificial brine solution and swept by tap water Run # 12 17 18 Operation Total vol. processed Li (mg) (ml) 37164 11.2 2000 0.326 350 10.2 Na (mg) Saturated 3330 53.2 K (mg) Saturated 234 27.7 Mg (mg) Saturated 509 171.5 Adsorbed amount of ions from artificial brine Amount of ions swept by tap water Eluted amount of ions by 0.5 M HCl Table 3.43 shows the amount of ions adsorbed from artificial brine in Run 12, the amount of ions swept through the column in Run 17 and eluted amount of ions in Run 18 by 0.5 M HCl. The total mass balance holds for lithium and shows small amount of lithium remaining in the column. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the overall process (feeding-sweeping-eluting), the concentration of the artificial brine and the elution solution are compared in Table 3.44. Table 3.44 The comparison of the artificial brine and elution solution composition after sweeping by tap water The composition Articial brine conc. Elution solution conc. Change of concentration Li (ppm) 0.43 29 Increased by 67 folds Na (ppm) 53430 152 Decreased by 352 folds K (ppm) 4464 79 Decreased by 57 folds Mg (ppm) 9210 490 Decreased by 19 folds Table 3.44 shows that the overall process is very highly selective towards lithium compared to sodium and potassium ions and highly selective compared to magnesium ions. The results coincide with the findings in Section 3.4.2 where the column capacity for magnesium was found greater than sodium and potassium. 114PDF 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 |
