S9E1 - Why Water Technologies Matter in Lithium Mining (And Why You Should Buy Now!)
with ποΈ Benjamin Sparrow - CEO and Co-Founder at Saltworks TechnologiesΒ
π§ Saltworks provides innovative products and solutions for industrial wastewater treatment and desalination.
What we covered:
π’ The current state of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) and its possible technological paths
π€ How DLE gets paired with Concentrate Refine Convert (CRC) processes and how this takes lithium to battery-grade
4οΈβ£ The Two main sources of Lithium in the World and their Two Contenders (DLE & Battery Recycling)
π The timelines of a lithium mining project and how fast tracks are myths
π How speed to market is going to be a key metric for a new lithium player's success and how to maximize your chances of success
π¨π¦ How regions with a rich mining history, such as Canada and Australia, will lead the charge in the lithium mining revolution
π§ How water processes being massively used in lithium extraction projects will have consequences on lead times and technology availability in the Water Sector
π How lithium mining is an industry where everybody is growing and how there is more money flowing into the sector than companies ready to receive it
π Generation 1 vs 2, Evaluating a Surprise Lithium Project, what's important for DLE's Success, Key market players, Growing as a water technology scale-up... and much more!
π₯ ... and of course, we concluded with the π§ππ₯ππ πππ§π π¦πͺππ¨π©ππ€π£π¨ π₯
