Amanda Hall, Co-founder and CEO of Calgary-based Summit Nanotech, recently joined CBC Calgary Eyeopener to discuss the company’s innovative method of generating more environmentally-friendly, battery-grade lithium compounds. Here is a direct audio link.
Summit Nanotech has designed an innovative new method to generate battery grade lithium compounds from brine fluids, named denaLi. This process is the most green lithium extraction technology in the world. Lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide can be sold at market value to supply the growing demand from electric vehicle battery manufacturers.
Interconnected modules using nanoporous membranes in a unique arrangement are synthesized with specific filtration functions. Carbon dioxide is used to initiate end product precipitation. Discrete power generation modules are selected to work together to harvest and store available geothermal, solar, wind, and hydroelectric power from the system’s environment.
