LiTHOS Announces Positive Results from AcQUA™ Technology Lithium Brine Tests with SQM on Salar de Atacama Brines.
LiTHOS Group Ltd. (“LiTHOS” or the “Company”) (CBOE CA: LITS) (OTCQB: LITSF) (FSE: YU8) (WKN: A3ES4Q), a leader in sustainable lithium brine production technologies, is pleased to announce the successful completion of laboratory-scale tests using its AcQUA™ pre-treatment technology. These results were obtained from a series of successful fluid processing tests with global lithium producer SQM (NYSE: SQM, Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-A, SQM-B). AcQUA™ pre-treatment demonstrated robust lithium yield recovery together with impurity removal. The tests were conducted at LiTHOS’s state-of-the-art facility in Bessemer, Alabama.
Key Achievements:
Exceptional Purity: AcQUA™ technology has achieved interesting rejection rates of Magnesium, Boric acid (HBO3), Calcium (CaCl), and Sulfates (S04), requirements that are essential for producing high-purity lithium, crucial for battery manufacturing.
Innovative Technology: Unlike traditional methods, AcQUA™ uses a patent-pending, hybrid electropressure membrane process that increases lithium concentration without the use of freshwater and harmful chemicals, marking a significant step forward in sustainable mining technologies.
Environmental Benefits: By eliminating the need for evaporation ponds, AcQUA™ technology substantially reduces the footprint of lithium mining. This aligns with global environmental standards and supports the industry’s shift towards sustainable practices.
Scott Taylor, CEO of LiTHOS, said:
The positive outcome from our latest tests on SQM field brines with AcQUA™ technology affirms our dedication to collaborating and validating our technology with SQM, which is a leading global lithium producer focused on sustainability.
“These achievements not only differentiate us within the industry but also enhance our competitive position, demonstrating our potential to meet the increasing demand for high-purity lithium crucial for renewable energy technologies.”
Operational and Technological Advantages:
The efficacy of AcQUA™ technology has been validated, strengthening LiTHOS’s capability to meet the growing global demand efficiently. These advancements support the company’s mission to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency in lithium extraction.
Environmental Impact and Strategic Positioning:
Committed to minimizing environmental impacts, LiTHOS’s use of AcQUA™ technology can eliminate the need for traditional evaporation ponds, significantly reducing the footprint associated with lithium mining. This strategic approach adheres to stringent environmental standards and positions LiTHOS to leverage opportunities in a market that increasingly values sustainable practices.
