Technology for extracting and refining minerals and metals is advancing every day, and through this technology we are able to produce and use materials essential to our modern lives. Take lithium, which began as a medicine but now is seen in battery manufacturing and the nuclear energy industry. Aquatech delivers fully end-to-end solutions for lithium extraction, processing and refinement through Li-Pro Lithium Selective Sorption (LSS) DLE technology, which will power 22,500 tpa of lithium production in Arkansas. This technology helps empower domestic industries such as EV transportation and portable lithium-ion batteries.
“Fragmented technology offerings increase project cost, risk and time-to-market, which has hindered the ramp-up of urgently needed critical minerals production in the Americas and Europe. Bringing Li-Pro into the PEARL technology platform solves this pressing industry need by offering the only proven full flowsheet solution that encompasses both upstream and downstream lithium processing technology,” commented Venkee Sharma, Executive Chairman at Aquatech.
