Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Noram Electrolysis Systems Inc.
$250,000.00
Lithium electrolysis piloting facility
FY 2023-24 · 2024-01-08
Summary
The firm has developed an industrial membrane electrolysis process and electrolyser cell equipment for the electrochemical conversion of lithium chloride or lithium sulphate solutions into battery grade lithium hydroxide. Broadly, our clients are in the mineral processing, lithium-ion battery production and recycling sectors.
Increasingly, clients are looking for the firm to take on a larger scope in pre-treatment of their unique brines, which is critical for electrolysis performance. This project aims to develop and improve a number of Firm’s specific brine treatment processes to improve operations of our electrolysis processes. In addition, test systems will be operated to validate electrolyser performance with the new brine specifications.

Description (French)
L’entreprise a développé un procédé industriel d’électrolyse à membrane et un équipement de cellule d’électrolyse pour la conversion électrochimique de solutions de chlorure de lithium ou de sulfate de lithium en hydroxyde de lithium de qualité batterie. D’une manière générale, nos clients travaillent dans les secteurs du traitement des minéraux, de la production de batteries lithium-ion et du recyclage. De plus en plus, les clients souhaitent que l’entreprise prenne en charge une plus grande partie du prétraitement de leurs saumures uniques, ce qui est essentiel pour la performance de l’électrolyse. Ce projet vise à développer et à améliorer un certain nombre de procédés de traitement des saumures spécifiques à l’entreprise afin d’améliorer les opérations de nos procédés d’électrolyse. En outre, des systèmes d’essai seront utilisés pour valider les performances de l’électrolyseur avec les nouvelles spécifications de la saumure.
