Problem
Traditional lithium refining methods are often inefficient, costly, and generate significant waste, hindering the scalable and sustainable production of battery-grade lithium. These conventional processes struggle to efficiently convert lithium from diverse raw sources, including brines, hard rock, clays, and recycled batteries, into high-purity lithium hydroxide or carbonate. The reliance on chemical-intensive steps and capital-intensive infrastructure further exacerbates these challenges.
Solution
Mangrove Lithium offers a modular and scalable refining technology, Clear-Li™, that converts lithium chloride and lithium sulfate from various feedstocks into high-purity lithium hydroxide and carbonate. This electrochemical refining process minimizes waste, reduces chemical usage, and eliminates capital-intensive steps compared to traditional methods. Clear-Li™ can be customized to meet specific needs and readily scaled up or down depending on the required capacity. By enabling efficient lithium conversion near extraction sites, battery recycling operations, or battery manufacturing facilities, Mangrove facilitates a cost-effective and closed-loop battery value chain.
Target Audience
Mangrove Lithium serves lithium producers, battery recyclers, and battery manufacturers seeking efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective lithium refining solutions.
