Lithium Sulfate may have been tested in Canada but GEA EU based ,certainly have the technology and knowledge to build and operate a lithium hydroxide plant for end customers >>> Northvolt full integration of the battery supply chain.??
GEA offers a broad technology portfolio for the lithium industry
GEA supports Albemarle with technologies for all process steps in lithium recovery

competition to 80 % Chinese control of lithium hydroxide supply .
Beginning with the initial concentration of lithium chloride or lithium sulfate from the raw material (brine or spodumene), GEA delivers the technology that brings upstream processes to completion. The product produced, battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, can then move on to midstream production.
Who provided the light bulb moment to AVZ regarding lithium sulfate production .
ALL IMO
