Lithium is a strategic commodity, powering the Energy rEVolution
Disrupting a $4 Trillion Transportation and $8 Trillion Energy Industry
The cost of lithium in your iPhone is about $1
In a Tesla battery, lithium accounts for about 2% of the battery’s cost

Selective Recovery of Lithium (and other
cations) using Membrane Technology
a possible alternative to the natural
evaporation process
could provide a process route to produce
lithium hydroxide directly from the raw brine
no need to remove contaminants like
magnesium by liming, as would be required
in the natural evaporation process.
with further refining the technology could
also permit the recovery of potassium and
other cations if desired.
