Sorption process6 Step 1 Step 2 Sorbent • Geothermal brine has a high salinity – it contains ions of various sizes and electric charges. • Water molecules surrounding the ions make up a hydration shell. • Small lithium ions require a double hydration shell to stabilise their electric charge in the solution. • In brines with high salinity this is not possible due to the competition for water molecules with the other ions. • Thus, lithium chloride ‘sinks’ to the surface of the sorbent material. • During loading, lithium chloride is sorbed on the sorbent while all the other ions stay in the brine. Sorbent • When the loaded sorbent is washed with water, an excess of free water molecules becomes available to the lithium ions. • Formation of a double hydration shell is an energetically favored process, which drives the desorption of the lithium chloride from the surface of a sorbent material. • This process is called elution and the collected wash water is called the eluate. • Eluate has a high concentration of lithium chloride and low concentration of impurities, enabling conversion to lithium hydroxide. 9PDF Image | Direct Lithium Extraction

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.| CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com | RSS | AMP |
