RE:New Press Release - CENTURY LITHIUM PRODUCES LITHIUM CARBONATE ONSITE AT PILOT PLANT Important improvements are still happening with our project to make this more attractive to a buyer of this project.
Century’s team at the Pilot Plant successfully treated 200 liters of concentrated lithium solution and produced 20 kg/(44LB) of high-grade lithium carbonate onsite.
Prior to this addition, concentrated lithium solutions from the Pilot Plant were treated by Saltworks Inc. at their facility in Richmond B.C.
At this point in time, the ability to make lithium carbonate at our Pilot Plant is an important step forward, in line with recommendations from our recently completed Feasibility Study” commented President and CEO Bill Willoughby.
the benefit in unlocking these resources is the ability to produce a battery quality lithium product onsite and thereby reducing or eliminating the need for downstream processing.”
Final assays on the lithium carbonate are pending.
the Company works to identify further technological breakthroughs to make the extraction of lithium from clay more economic.
