This is about 5 times better quality than usual and the Lilac DLE methodology is producing some exceptional results. (stand to be corrected)”

Hi Pakkaser,

2500 kg LCE
= about 470 kg Li
470 kg Li / 120,000 L
= about 3.9 g/L
= about 3900 mg/L

IIRC back in November they reported that the plant was producing “in-spec” eluate that was between 1900 and 3800 mg/L

What’s the spec of the recent/total eluate? They did not disclose. Why not?

So, if it was indeed 120,000 litres, AND the average spec was 3900 mg/L, then they could theoretically produce 2,500kg of carbonate, but that would require zero losses / 100% processing efficiency.
My expectation is that they won’t be able to produce 2,500kg of actual BG carbonate product from that eluate; time will tell. I don’t think they will disclose how many kg in total they actually eventually produce from it at saltworks; they will deflect by announcing x kg of material sent to potential customer A and x kg sent to customer B etc, imo, and as usual the detail will remain a mystery.

GCar, You're correct, they previously said that LiCl produced was in the 1900 -3800 mg/L range.
So 120,000 L of LiCl solution would theoretically produce only 456 kg of LCE, even if the 3800 mg/L figure was used. (conversion factor LiCl to LCE is 0.871)

When LKE say they produced 2500kg of LCE how can that be? Do they mean 2500kg of Li ?
