We provide Li refining solutions for:
Lithium Producers
Mangrove directly converts raw Li from brines, hard rocks, clays, and DLE into lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. Mangrove’s modular platform can co-locate and scale up to produce high purity battery-grade lithium near the point of extraction to meet the specifications for any operation.
Battery Recyclers
Mangrove works with battery recycling operations to refine lithium hydroxide from recycled batteries in fewer steps than incumbent technologies, with no waste by-products and at a higher purity. Mangrove can co-locate near battery recycling plants to create a cost-effective closed loop battery-value chain.
Battery Manufacturers
Mangrove can co-locate downstream with battery manufacturers, allowing manufacturers to enter diverse lithium supply agreements. This reduces risks of price volatility and material supply issues while allowing manufacturers to control lithium hydroxide purity to meet product specifications.
Innovative lithium conversion technology
- Mangrove is an innovative lithium refining platform that operates in the space between lithium extraction and cathode manufacturing and redefines the industry standard for battery grade lithium refining.
- Unlocks a variety of feedstock, and allows lithium from brines, hard rock, clay, geothermal DLE and battery recycling to be processed more efficiently.
- Mangrove's modular conversion technology can co-locate near the point of lithium extraction, battery recycling or battery manufacturing, creating efficiencies and reduce OPEX across the lithium battery value chain. This means our partners bring more lithium to market with steeper profit margins and less risks.

Curbing GHG emissions with a more sustainable battery-value chain
We won’t wade into the merits of either argument because, either way, the underlying facts remain that the “sharp correction” Goldman predicts is a function of market volatility caused by a brittle and over-concentrated supply chain. The volatility here is because we have rising demand, but an uncertain supply. For the market to achieve a stable foundation price, high or low, it must achieve a stable and reliable supply chain.
With lithium, we risk missing the forest for the trees

Decentralizing The Lithium Supply Chain
Media and analysts currently predict a lithium supply chain pinch that is going to be worsened by China's and Russia's near-monopoly on refining. With emerging technology like Mangrove's, companies will not be reliant on foreign processing and will be able to supply the expected demand.
