RE:today's news release: how signif is 14.5 g/L?Essentially it means they will have a higher concentration to work with when it comes to the final step of the evaporation process. Which means for every liter you have to process the yeild will be more lithium. Which should lower the operating cost to get end product. I do not think that it is costing much more to get to the 14g/L most of those gains have come from optimizing the DLE tech in collaboration with Koch TS.
Loook at in these terms. Projects like E3 Lithium and Standard Lithium that are using DLE pumped up from underground are working with concentrations as low as under 100 ppm for them it is all about flow rates. How much liquid can they get through their filters to get to add up to tons of lithium. Century with its 14g/L translates to just over 14,000 ppm solution. So when it goes to the final processing the same amount of energy use will yield vast amounts more lithium in the end. It is good news to say the least.
