Phase One DFS Demo Scope - Battery Grade by
Design
-
Balance of Plant (BOP) - Saltworks Technologies
The BOP process consists of industry standard unit operations for the concentration, purification, and
lithium carbonate production from the concentrated lithium chloride eluate. The demonstration-scale
validation of the BOP flowsheet was conducted by Saltworks Technologies
The goals of the demonstration activities were to de-risk the DFS design for the full-sized plant, to
validate the system configuration, and to explore potential optimization opportunities for the flowsheet
and operating parameters
120,000 litres of Kachi brine was processed at Saltworks' Facility in Canada to produce >1,300 kg of
battery grade lithium carbonate
All batches achieved battery grade lithium purity target (>99.5%)
Up to 99.9% purity achieved
Independent validation of results
Data produced to support DFS completion
>1,300 kg of samples created for offtake testing
