Examples of Li-Brine Systems and Their Tectonic Settings All closed-basin lithium-brine deposits that are of present economic interest are of Quaternary age. Basins that contain lithium-enriched brines have a number of different tectonic origins (fig. 2). Quantities of Li in million metric tons (Mt) in the following discussion are from Kesler and others (2012). Clayton Valley, Nevada, (0.2 Mt of Li) is located within the Basin and Range extensional province of the western United States; in detail, it is hosted in an extensional half-graben system between a young metamorphic core complex and its breakaway zone (Oldow and others, 2009). The Salar de Atacama (6.3 Mt of Li) and Salar de Uyuni (10.2 Mt of Li) are located on the Altiplano of Chile and Bolivia, a high, internally drained plateau along the crest of the Andean convergent-margin orogen that includes a number of closed basins; the basin of the Salar de Atacama itself is a contractional intrarc basin. The Salton Sea, California, is a strike-slip basin located at a releasing bend along an intracontinental segment of the San Andreas transform fault. Zabuye Lake (1.5 Mt of Li) is one of a family of closed basins in the Tibetan plateau on the upper plate of the Himalayan-Tibetan collisional orogen; in detail, it is a Neogene graben at high angles to the structural grain of the orogen. Curiously, and due partly to extreme aridity, most of these example deposits are in globally exceptional tectonic settings: the Basin and Range is the world’s widest extensional province, the Altiplano is the highest sector of a continental-margin arc, and Tibet is the largest and highest syncollisional plateau.

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)
