Good to see Vulcan up 24% today after it has shown it can produce LiCl from its DLE process.
Highlights• First LiCl produced from LEOP, heralding the first lithium chemicals domestically produced from a local source in Europe, for Europe.• LEOP is showing strong early results with consistently over 90% (up to 95%) lithium extraction efficiency from its Adsorption-type Direct Lithium Extraction (A-DLE) unit, replicating what Vulcan has seen in its lab and pilot plant operations, and in line with its commercial plant expectations and Vulcan’s financing model.• The SOP follows over three years and more than 10,000 hours of successful in-house A-DLE piloting by Vulcan, showing high lithium recoveries and thousands of cycles of adsorbent life with no material degradation.
