Mangrove raises $3M from BDC Capital to accelerate deployment of battery-grade lithium processing systems

Green Car Congress

Mangrove is the developer of a modular platform for the cost-effective production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide. The platform technology is also being commercialized for conversion of waste brines to chemicals and desalinated water. The process creates an effluent stream with salinity below 3,000 ppm.

IBC demonstrates highly selective high-yield direct lithium extraction from Salar de Maricunga brine

Green Car Congress

The Pilot Plant has undergone validation testing and begun Phase One operation, the results from which demonstrate highly selective, high-yield direct lithium extraction from brine and high water efficiency. DLP is a self-contained process that produces battery-grade lithium end-products at the same site as lithium extraction.
