Lithium extraction scale up process for high performance and efficiency

FY 2023-24 · 2023-09-01

Summary
This project focuses on conducting research to investigate several performance parameters and metrics that are used in the detailed engineering design of a large demonstration unit to be built and is portable for the field. The development and optimization of this mini-pilot demonstrates that the nonmaterial solid manufacturing and associated process can scale with effectives achieving the same level of performance and efficiency in lithium extraction.

Description (French)
Ce projet se concentre sur la recherche de plusieurs paramètres et mesures de performance qui sont utilisés dans la conception technique détaillée d’une grande unité de démonstration à construire et à transporter sur le terrain. Le développement et l’optimisation de ce mini-pilote démontrent que la fabrication de solides non matériels et le processus associé peuvent être mis à l’échelle pour atteindre le même niveau de performance et d’efficacité dans l’extraction du lithium.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Organizations is to support Organizations in building and integrating the innovation capacity in Canada for the benefit of Firms in Canada, primarily SMEs and to support Organizations in providing innovation assistance services to SMEs in Canada.
Expected Results (French)
Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux organismes, vise à soutenir les organismes en les aidant à construire et à intégrer leur capacité d’innovation au Canada au bénéfice des entreprises canadiennes, et plus particulièrement des PME et à aider les organismes à offrir des services d’aide à l’innovation aux PME au Canada.
