A Single Process With Multiple Applications
Fluoromet has developed mineral extraction processes that can produce all of the raw materials needed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries.
• Natural Graphite processing and purification for anode production
• Lithium Hydroxide production from spodumene for active cathode material
• Cobalt, Manganese, Niobium and Alumina for cathode production
Critical minerals are extracted at ultra-high purity (minimum 99.999%) with closed loop, remote controlled, low energy processing and zero tailings.
How Does the Fluoromet Process Compare?
“We aim to design extraction processes that are as close to the maximum theoretical efficiency as possible”
The Fluoromet Process does not require heat or pressure to achieve target outcomes and is also capable of delivering multiple commodities from the one ore.
All reagents are recycled in a closed loop process, avoiding hazardous waste and optimising environmentally responsible operations.
Furthermore, the recovery of multiple by-products removes the need for tailings dams.
The outcome: a simpler, greener, cheaper plant with lower production costs and emissions.
The significant benefits of the Fluoromet Processes allow for installations in lower energy locations with smaller plant footprint.
