to sweep the foreign ions which was followed by elution of the remaining ion content in the particles. The elution of the particles was done in three consecutive steps by using 100 ml of 0.5 M HCl in each step. The eluted amount of ions and concentrations in each step were tabulated and given in Table 3.58.

The efficiency of the overall process starting from feeding the artificial brine/clay extract to the adsorption column in consecutive steps which is followed by the post-treatment with LiMnO particles were analyzed in terms of lithium concentrations, foreign ion concentrations and the amount of lithium lost in each step. 3.4.5.1 Efficiency of the overall process starting from artificial brine In order to have 1675 ppm Li, 64.4 ppm Na, 128.9 ppm K and 124.1 ppm Mg in 100 ml of water, 1517 L of concentrated sea water was processed with a concentration of 0.43 ppm Li, 53430 ppm Na, 4464 ppm K and 9210 ppm Mg. In the first adsorption- sweeping-elution cycle, 458 mg Li was adsorbed by the LiMnO-PSMA beads, while 65 mg of Li was lost during sweeping process. In the second adsorption-sweeping- 126 Clay Artificial extract brine

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.
