Lithium Processing Capabilities
Veolia Water Technologies has a long history of supplying systems for purification, recovery, and drying of inorganic chemicals utilizing its HPD® Evaporation and Crystallization Technologies. State-of-the art research and development capabilities allow understanding of the behavior of multi-component systems, aqueous systems, and system optimization for efficiency, operability, and final product quality.
These process development capabilities are critical in order to meet increasing purity standards in the production of lithium compounds for applications such as advanced electric battery technologies.
Veolia has supplied several process systems to leading lithium suppliers worldwide as well as having performed analytical, bench and pilot-scale testing.
- Lithium brine concentration
- Lithium salts crystallization
- Lithium salts purification by re-crystallization
- By-products recovery from lithium processing
- Impurity removal (precipitation, ion exchange, . . .)
- Solid/liquid separation systems and solids handling
