Lithium refining that works with battery manufacturers
Lithium refining solution for manufacturers that provides maximum agency
Supply uncertainty and price volatility mean that battery manufacturers can no longer afford to remain reliant on outside operations for a supply of battery-grade lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. Global feedstocks of varying quality, quantity and chemical composition add to the complication of manufacturers entering in commercial agreements with producers and refiners.
Mangrove is a low-CapEx and low-OpEx lithium refining solution for manufacturers that provides maximum agency by allowing manufacturers the ability to enter into diverse Li supply agreements and have a reliable stream of high purity lithium hydroxide to use for their product.
Benefits of Mangrove’s lithium refining technology for battery manufacturers
-
Ability to enter into diverse Li supply agreements:
Mangrove is feedstock flexible and able to work with extracted lithium chloride from various brines and DLE and lithium sulfate from hard rocks, clays and recycled batteries. This allows battery and cathode manufacturers to enter diverse lithium supply agreements and ensures a reliable supply of battery-grade lithium by reducing the risk of raw material supplies. This also helps reduce the risks of lithium price volatility. -
Control lithium hydroxide purity to meet product specifications:
Lithium will have varying quality and composition based on the feedstock it is extracted from. With incumbent refining platforms, this will greatly affect the purity of the final lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate product. Refining with Mangrove allows manufacturers to specify exact lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate purities to meet their needed production specifications, despite the feedstock. -
Co-locate near the site of battery manufacturing:
Despite being produced globally, majority of extracted lithium is shipped to China to be refined into a battery-grade product. Mangrove is modular electrochemical platform that is able to co-locate with or near the site of battery manufacturing, allowing for vertical integration and reduced reliance on outside operations. This eliminates geopolitical and logistic risks that threaten lithium supplies and availability for manufacturers. -
Numbers up to scale with capacity:
Mangrove's unique electrochemical cell/stack system is easily able to number up to meet the needs and capacity for projects of all sizes. The modular technology also has a smaller footprint than incumbent lithium refining systems.
Mangrove can co-locate with battery and cathode manufacturers
