Interesting development

"Orocobre Limited and Energy Exploration Technologies Inc. (EnergyX) have entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) on working together on implementation of direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies in promoting sustainable development and innovation in the lithium mining sector.Rising demand across the world for electric vehicles and a more efficient energy system has corresponded to a projected exponential increase in demand for lithium. This trend has provided opportunities for companies such as EnergyX to introduce DLE technologies to make lithium extraction more efficient, sustainable, and economic.

EnergyX is a US-based technology company focused on innovations in the field of lithium extraction and solid-state battery energy storage systems.Lithium Ion Transport and Separation (LiTAS) is EnergyX’s proprietary technology that stems from metal organic frameworks (MOFs) nanoparticles capable of selectively separating monovalent ions, such as lithium, from the rest of the ions in mixtures of high salinity solutions while maintaining stability in a myriad of conditions. LiTAS mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) comprise mixtures of polymer and MOF to retain the attractive selectivity of the MOF, and the scalable and robust mechanical properties of polymers. EnergyX has designed and patented a proprietary scalable casting method to combine MOF nanoparticles with polymers to create the mixed matrix membranes in a thin film format.The continuous process has a lithium recovery rate of ~90%, and can operate in conditions of 20-40% salinity."

It's good they're looking at it. Much better than sticking head in sand. Even if the cost turns out not to be too much different, it may be easier to produce consistent high purity, high quality product.

May not be in time to stop Olaroz Stage 2 plant construction proceeding as planned, but in a COVID-19 world who knows?
