Processes 2019, 7, 248 10 of 16 Table 4. The coefficients of determination R2 for different growth mechanisms of Li2CO3 under different temperatures. T (K) R2 F1 F2 F3 F4 318.15 0.9530 323.15 0.9843 328.15 0.9768 333.15 0.9674 Ave.R2 0.9704 0.9505 0.9539 0.9877 0.9843 0.9785 0.9771 0.9699 0.9677 0.9717 0.9708 0.9949 0.9977 0.9918 0.9920 0.9941 It can be seen from Figure 5 and Table 4 that the F4 mechanism correlates the induction time and supersaturation data well at different temperatures using a quadratic polynomial. The coefficients of determination R2 are above 0.99 and the fitting accuracy is high. Hence, it can be concluded that the growth mode of Li2CO3 crystals under our experimental conditions is a 2D nucleation-mediated growth mechanism. 3.2. Multi-response Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology 3.2.1. Central Composite Design and Crystallization Outcomes Based on single factor tests, a CCD of an RSM was employed to investigate the effects of four variables—temperature (A), feeding rate (B), concentration (C), and stirring speed (D)—on the yield (Y1) and particle size (Y2) of the Li2CO3 product. The experimental factors were coded at five levels (−2, −1, 0, 1, 2), and temperature (30, 40, 50, 60, 70 ◦C), feeding rate (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mL/min), concentration (1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5 mol/L) and stirring speed (200, 300, 400, 500, 600 rpm) were investigated (Table 5). This design was composed of 30 tested points, including six replications of the zero points. The response results are shown in Table 6. Level Table 5. Levels and codes of central composite design.

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.
