Flow control for lithium
Lithium refining with Valmet flow control solutions
Lithium is crucial for the battery industry. As demand for lithium-ion batteries grows, the need for lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate increases. These materials are sourced from either brine or hard-rock ore. Hard-rock ore processing involves a concentrator plant to produce a concentrate, which is then refined in a chemical plant. Brine processing starts in evaporation ponds or through direct lithium extraction (DLE), followed by chemical processing.
