Saturday, April 25, 2020 mines with these metals should have mine water with (potentially) Lithium in solution. That was the thesis of a group that decided to seek Lithium in Cornwall, which is probably the longest mined area for tin in the world with a history going back to Phoenician times. The presence of lithium in hot spring brines in Cornwall has been known since the mid-1800s but this was regarded as a curiosity, given there was no developed market for the metal at that time. The old cross section above shows the temperature of the mine waters at varying levels of depth. The presence of high levels of lithium in hot spring brines is believed to be due to the interaction between highly saline water from a nearby sedimentary basin and the granite under Cornwall. Some of the granite rocks in Cornwall are enriched in lithium and, over millions of years, this lithium appears to have become dissolved in highly saline waters which have interacted with the granite. In the view of at least one UK company new technologies now offer the potential to extract lithium from these hot spring brines. We would note however that while the world has many flooded underground workings we would posit that those with potential for this type of extraction of mine water brines is limited to (some) past-producing Tin or Lithium mines. Technologies The subject of technology adoption in the mining industry is a chequered one but with special challenges in the Lithium space (and brine extraction being more like chemistry than quarrying) the race Hallgarten & Company +44 795 08 53 621 Page 6PDF Image | Unconventional Lithium from Brine

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 (Standard Web Page)
