Resources 2022, 11, 89 4 of 12 Figure 1. Experimental flow diagram. 2.2. Method Two experiments were carried out separately on brine and bittern since the concen- tration of Mg in brine and bittern was 475.30 ppm and 13,527 ppm, respectively. Both experiments were conducted at room temperature without heating and with a precipita- tion process time of 5 min, based on the previous study [14]. In this experiment, the main things observed were the percentage of lithium ions and magnesium ions still present in the filtrate and the Mg/Li ratio in the filtrate. The flow diagram of the experiment is shown in Figure 1. Brine water without evaporation was added with sodium silicate with a varying mole ratio of sodium silicate to magnesium of 0.31, 0.63, 0.94, 1.25, 1.56, 1.88, and 2.19. The fil- tration process separated the filtrate (F1) and the precipitate (S1). Next, the solid precipi- tates (S1) were leached with distilled water at a volume of 200 mL for 30 min. In the case of bittern, the addition of sodium silicate was varied based on the mole ratio proportion to precipitate magnesium ion, which was 0.0, 0.62, 0.74, 0.87, 1.00, 1.11, and 1.24. For the comparison between bittern and brine water, the addition of sodium silicates was set up to a 1.25 mole ratio of sodium silicate to magnesium ion. The precipitation process time was set at 5 min at room temperature, with the stirring speed at 300 rpm. A white precipitate of magnesium silicate (S1) was then separated from the filtrate (F1). The solid (S1) was then leached with distilled water with a solid/water ratio of about 1.5 for about 30 min to remove the lithium ions that may have occurred in the solid (S1). The filtrate (F2) was separated from the precipitate (S2) for further characterization. The process of leaching instead of washing was preferred in this observation because either magnesium or lithium ions might dissolve when the solid precipitates were mixed with distilled water.

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.
