Revolutionizing Lithium Extraction for a Clean Energy Future

Lithium powers the modern world — from electric vehicles and mobile devices to large-scale energy storage systems. Yet, most of today’s lithium (60–70%) comes from salt lake brines with extremely low concentrations (0.05–0.2%), requiring massive volumes of water and long, resource-intensive processing.

Global demand is soaring — with annual lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) production at roughly 100,000 metric tons, requiring over 100 million tons of brine water each year.

A Smarter Way to Extract Lithium

Aqua Fission Lithium Technology is an innovative, low-energy, low-temperature desalination process that extracts lithium and other valuable minerals from brine, while producing freshwater as a byproduct.

Our patented process uses thermodynamic vacuum evaporation at ambient temperature — no heating, high pressure, membranes, or consumables. This means:

• Minimal energy use — just 1–2 kWh per ton of water processed
• Lower costs — lithium compounds produced at 2–3 times cheaper than current market prices
• Eco-friendly operation — zero pollution and low environmental impact
• Scalable design — from small units to global-scale operations

How It Works

1. Brine Extraction – Salty groundwater or lake water is pumped to the surface.

2. Vacuum Evaporation – Water gradually evaporates at low energy cost, concentrating salts.

3. Lithium Separation – Lithium compounds are selectively extracted as solids.

4. Additional Recovery – Table salt, sulfates, chlorides, borates, and metals can also be recovered.

5. Freshwater Output – Clean water is produced as a valuable byproduct.

Proven Performance

Each 20-foot vertical processing unit:

• Handles 200 tons of brine per day

• Produces 200–300 kg of lithium compounds

• Generates 10–25 tons of table salt and 5–8 tons of other salts/metals

• Operates with minimal maintenance and can run on solar or wind power

• Occupies just 9 m² with a height of 6.5 meters

Why Choose Aqua Fission Lithium Technology?

• Significantly reduced processing time compared to traditional evaporation ponds

• Lower cost per ton of lithium carbonate (approx. $3,000–$4,000)

• Additional revenue streams from salt, metals, and freshwater

• Year-round operation in all climates

• Modular scalability – processing the world’s entire brine volume would require just 1,000–1,500 units
