The company shipped four tanks with a total of 88 cubic metres of concentrated eluate from its direct lithium extraction pilot plant in Copiapó, Chile, to the facilities of Conductive Energy in Chicago, USA.
The first tank with 20 cubic metres of eluate produced the first 50kg of lithium carbonate on November 19th.
"We are thrilled that the company, in collaboration with Conductive Energy Inc. and Forward Water Technologies, has successfully produced pilot-scale lithium carbonate samples, providing verification for each process step,” said Steve Kesler, executive chairman of CleanTech Lithium.
“The recent site visit video showcased the effectiveness of the downstream conversion process and marks a significant step towards the development stage of our lithium projects based on using direct lithium extraction. The samples will be sent to a laboratory to confirm the grade and impurity profile, which is expected to be battery-grade. The pilot plant will provide significant volumes of battery grade samples for strategic partner qualification."
