Mangrove Lithium is a midstream electrochemical lithium conversion company that is able to convert lithium into a battery grade product more cost-effectively and sustainably, with the most feedstock and output product flexibility. Today, there are no other lithium conversion processes that offer a cost-effective, sustainable and feedstock/product flexible solution.
By eliminating reliance on reagents, such as soda ash, lime and caustic soda, and using electricity to drive our process, Mangrove creates no waste by-products, decreases the carbon footprint of the lithium supply chain, and reduces the cost to produce a high quality product.
Mangrove provides a low-cost lithium conversion solution for our upstream and downstream customers via service agreement or technology provider models.
Removes reliance on reagents, such as soda ash, lime and caustic soda, reducing the cost of production and eliminating any waste by-product production.
Mangrove avoids significant carbon emissions by removing excess chemical transport and use associated with incumbent refining platforms.
Mangrove creates no sodium sulfate waste. This is waste by-product produced in chemical refining systems carries a significant burden of disposal.
Feedstock and product flexibility allows production of battery grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate with lithium extracted from most feedstocks. Added flexibility is permitted through the electrochemical process that facilitates the ability quickly ramp up or down production at any given time.
An efficient electrochemical technology allows Mangrove to unlock higher yields of battery-grade lithium from the feedstock of varying quality.
Mangrove removes steps from the conversion flowsheet needed to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide in conventional refining systems, saving time and money.
The only by-products produced in Mangrove’s electrochemical refining process are acids that can be recycled for use in upstream processing steps, creating synergy between refining and processing.
Mangrove's patented Clear-LiTM lithium refining system requires less power than incumbent refining technologies to convert feedstock into a battery grade product.
Mangrove works along the battery-value chain with upstream miners, downstream battery/cathode manufacturers, and battery recyclers to bring conversion to where it is needed most.
An electrochemical lithium refining technology is at the heart of Mangrove’s lithium conversion process. As experts and innovators in electrochemical systems, Mangrove is able to design, develop and tailor a lithium conversion platform that is best suited for each use case and customer.
Whether it is Mangrove’s patented Clear-LiTM electrochemical system, adapted chlor-alkali technology, or other electrochemical processes, Mangrove is able to design, develop and deploy a total lithium conversion platform that efficiently and effectively produces a battery-grade lithium.
Mangrove takes spodumene concentrate or lithium sulfate feedstock from hard rock & clay lithium producers and process it into lithium sulfate and then refine that into battery grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. The electrochemical refining technology eliminates the need for caustic soda reagents, reducing OPEX while at the same time eliminating the creation of any sodium sulfate waste byproducts that carry a burden of disposal.
Takes brine concentrate and DLE eluate and processes lithium sulfide. Lithium chloride is then refined into a battery grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate using a electrochemical technology, eliminating the need for chemical reagents. This lowers OPEX and creates a hydrochloric byproduct that can be recycled in upstream processing steps. Our process directly converts lithium chloride into battery grade lithium hydroxide, sidestepping the intermediate lithium carbonate conversion step.
Mangrove takes lithium sulfate feedstock from battery recyclers and process and refines it into battery grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. The electrochemical refining technology eliminates the need for caustic soda reagents, reducing OPEX while at the same time eliminating the creation of any sodium sulfate waste byproducts that carry a burden of disposal.
Mangrove Lithium provides a more cost-effective and versatile refining solution for lithium refiners. Our technology is feedstock flexible, capable of processing various lithium sources, and product flexible, allowing the production of both lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. This adaptability ensures that refiners can efficiently meet diverse market demands while maintaining lower operational costs.
Battery and cathode manufacturers benefit from Mangrove Lithium's flexible and future-proof refining technology. Our system can process lithium extracted from brine, DLE, hard rocks, clay, and recycled batteries, offering unparalleled feedstock flexibility. Additionally, our technology allows for the production of either lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate, adapting to changing battery chemistry demands. This cost-effective solution ensures manufacturers are well-prepared for future market shifts.
Mangrove’s patented Clear-LiTM electrochemical lithium refining technology uses a proprietary cell and process to efficiently convert extracted lithium for a variety of feedstocks into a battery grade lithium. In many instances, this technology and process allows Mangrove to be the most energy efficient, cost effective and sustainable refining solutions on the market.
Located near Vancouver, BC, Mangrove’s pilot plant has been in operation since 2021. With commercial scale capabilities, the pilot plant is used to test customer samples and demonstrate techno-economics with a multitude of feedstocks.
