Neometals Ltd, an innovative battery materials recycler, has successfully completed the purification phase of its Lithium Chemical pilot trial. The purification testwork, conducted on a brine feed source, has confirmed earlier bench-scale testing by removing over 97% of brine feed source impurities. This supports the production of a purified brine solution that meets the specifications required for the electrolysis stage of Neometals' ELi process. The ELi technology is a lithium chemical processing technology that purifies lithium chloride. The feedstock for the purification was a salar brine concentrate from Argentina. The pilot trials are being co-funded by Bondalti, and a new cooperation agreement is being negotiated to cover the proposed Demonstration Plant in Portugal.
