Lithium extraction technology upgrades to meet demand -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
The current production of lithium requires 18 to 24 months of exposure and evaporation. After all other elements in the lithium ore have been extracted, only the lithium element is left, and the mining is not completed. The biggest problem is that it is very difficult to expand lithium production and build thousands of evaporation ponds.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
This new technology from IBAT goes against traditional methods by removing evaporation ponds from the entire lithium production chain. The technology will reduce extraction time to 24 hours. Even better, its lithium extraction rate will increase from 40% to 90%. John Bulba said: "Our technology can directly extract lithium, and the core of the technology - Selective Absorption is the only commercially proven feasible method."
The traditional method needs to remove other elements from the lithium ore first, but this new technology can directly extract lithium from the lithium ore.
According to Bourbba, the core idea of the technology is the extraction of lithium on a continuous basis. The technology collects lithium in flowing brine, ignoring other impurities, and finally obtains diluted lithium chloride. The entire extraction process takes 24 hours, which means that people can say goodbye to the 18 to 24 month extraction cycle of traditional methods. This is undoubtedly a revolution in lithium refining technology. Bourba said the new technology will greatly meet the needs of lithium battery production.
