According to E3, DLE technologies can extract brine from Alberta’s oilfields efficiently and effectively to produce a lithium-rich concentrate stream. The process to convert the lithium-rich solution (a liquid) to lithium carbonate (a solid) utilizes conventional chemical reactions and industry standard processes
An internal team of experts has been beneficial in ensuring that E3 successfully completed the necessary steps towards technology development and selection, including verification testing of third-party DLE processes to support the design and decision making for the commercial facility.
The Canadian lithium developer also has its own internal analytics team that enables to company to efficiently and quickly produce consistent results from the various testing processes.
With the definition of the downstream processes utilizing chemical conversion to produce lithium carbonate and then lithium hydroxide, E3 said it will…
