Battery Grade
Lithium Carbonate
Lithium carbonate is a foundational material for lithium-ion batteries and industrial manufacturing, serving as the primary precursor for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode production. Its versatility, stability, and cost efficiency make it a critical input for electric vehicles, grid energy storage, ceramics, and specialty glass applications. Unlike conventional lithium production methods that require multiple downstream impurity removal and softening stages, EnergyX’s Direct Lithium Extraction technology removes nearly all impurities including boron during the initial extraction process, polishing off the rest downstream and concentrating the lithium at high purity. Battery grade lithium carbonate is then directly precipitated from this–eliminating several of the complex and expensive refinery steps. Lithium hydroxide can also be directly produced from this using a membrane process that skips the lithium carbonate precipitation step. By producing high-purity battery grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide from lithium brines using advanced separation and refining technologies, EnergyX reduces chemical consumption, achieves high recoveries and simplifies the process resulting in one of the lowest capital as well as operating costs in the industry, streamlining the path to scalable lithium production for the rapidly growing electrification market.
