Lithium Refining for
Brine Li Producers
Refine brine Li
with Mangrove Lithium
Brines are the world’s most abundant source of Li, but most reserves cannot be cost-effectively turned into battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate. Mangrove is a platform that utilizes electrochemistry to directly convert brine-fed lithium chloride to high-purity lithium hydroxide at a high volume upstream or downstream the battery value chain.
Conventional lithium refining vs Mangrove's lithium refining
The benefits of Mangrove's innovative refining technology
- Directly converts lithium chloride to high purity lithium hydroxide
- Modular platform can co-locate with existing extraction operations and refine near brines and salars
- Reduces overall OPEX of LiOH refining and boosts project viability
- Mangrove reduces refinement cost by 40% compared to conventional brine processes
- Modular technology can be quickly scaled to meet capacity requirements and customer battery specifications
Challenges for brine producers relying on incumbent refining processes
- Lithium chloride from brines must first be converted to lithium carbonate and then to lithium hydroxide
- Incumbent conversion processes have difficulty achieving battery-grade lithium hydroxide
- Low purity Li chemicals are shipped overseas for additional refining, increasing costs and exposing the production to unnecessary supply chain risks
