elements that create problems in processing (magnesium) or toxic elements that require care in waste disposal (Garrett, 2004). Figure 1. Schematic deposit model for lithium brines showing part of a closed-basin system consisting of interconnected subbasins. The subbasin containing the salar is the lowest. A number of similar and related deposit types are seen. Some ancient oilfield brines are enriched in lithium (Collins, 1976, reported 692 mg/l in the Smackover brine of Texas). Unless located in an arid climate, recovery of Li in evaporation ponds is not economically feasible. Brines in a spectrum of closed-basin settings can be enriched in potassium chloride (KCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), bromine (Br), and iodine (I) (Warren, 2010)—the differences reflecting bedrock chemistry (Eugster, 1980) and perhaps also hydrothermal contributions. Most lithium brine fields are spatially associated with sodium chloride (NaCl) evaporite deposits, but the reverse is not necessarily true—that is, most NaCl evaporites lack an associated lithium brine. Hydrothermal lithium-clay deposits (for example, hectorite) are commonly found in the same basins as lithium brines, and there is reason to suspect that they are cogenetic (Vine, 1980). Lithium-brine deposits are commonly associated with borate mineralization in arid, closed basins; the latter appear to be hybrids involving both hydrothermal and evaporative processes. 2PDF Image | USGS Deposit Model for Lithium Brines

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)
