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

Green Car Congress

DLP Pilot Plant Phase 1 results: 99+% of lithium selectively extracted directly from Salar de Maricunga brine; lithium is below analytical detection limits in Li-depleted brine. Concentrations of key elements in the Salar de Maricunga brine are: Li (0.767 g/L), Mg (5.37 No pre-removal or concentration steps are required. m3 per day.

New mesoporous crystalline Si exhibits increased rate of H2 production; potential use in Li-ion batteries also

Green Car Congress

These advantages also make the mesoporous silicon a potential candidate for other applications, such as optoelectronics, drug delivery systems and even lithium-ion batteries. The standard method for manufacturing porous silicon is a subtraction method, similar to making a sculpture. Batteries Hydrogen Production Solar Solar fuels'

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. There are currently two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries.
