Problem
Traditional lithium extraction from brine sources relies heavily on evaporation ponds, which have significant environmental drawbacks, including extensive land use, high water consumption, and potential ecological damage. These methods are also slow and can be economically inefficient due to weather dependency and reagent use.
Solution
Lithos Energy offers a sustainable solution for lithium production using its proprietary AcQUA™ technology. This technology employs an electro-pressure membrane process to efficiently recover and concentrate lithium chloride from aqueous sources, eliminating the need for evaporation ponds. The AcQUA™ system is modular and field-proven, allowing for adaptable and scalable operations while minimizing environmental impact. By processing continental brines from strategic locations, Lithos aims to enhance community well-being and promote environmental stewardship in lithium resource development.
