The world’s most enriched Li brines appear to correspond to the late-stage fluids in the model of Eugster and Hardie (1978). For example, the Li‐rich brine at Salar de Atacama, Chile, contains on average 1,400 mg/L Li with a minimum of 900 mg/L and a maximum of nearly 7,000 mg/L, and it is produced from a halite aquifer with carbonate and sulfate flanking the basin. This indicates that carbonate and sulfate mineral precipitation may have played a role in producing the existing Na‐Cl brine that is enriched in Li. In addition to evaporative concentration processes as described above, the distillation of Li from geothermal heat- ing of fluids may play a significant role in concentrating Li in these brines, and perhaps causes prolonged replenishment of brines that are in production. Since many of the Li‐rich brines exist over, or in close proximity, to relatively shallow magma chambers it may be that through faults and fractures, the late‐ stage magmatic fluids and vapors have pathways to migrate into the closed basins.PDF Image | Lithium Brines A Global Perspective

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 |
