Mangrove Lithium develops an innovative approach to Lithium Refining which is using electrochemical processes to reach battery grade from diverse raw sources.Â
The decarbonization of our World oftentimes resembles a set of Russian Dolls. First, we needed electric cars, so the manufacturers started shifting their internal combustion lines to EV ones. Then, batteries were on the critical path, so the World frantically built Gigafactories. As a result, Lithium became the bottleneck, and over the next decade, we'll try to catch up. But in doing s...2023-08-1600 min

Clean Power HourSaad Dara and Francisco Velasco of Mangrove Lithium | Streamlining Lithium Production for EV Ep.89Production of high-quality lithium presents a complex problem. Sourcing lithium is difficult and making high-purity lithium is costly. Lithium is sourced from recycling of lithium-ion batteries or extracting it from a brine solution previously introduced into hard rock. The extracted material is called lithium chloride or lithium sulfate, and processing it into the final product - lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate for battery production - is where Mangrove Lithium comes in. Saad Dara is an engineer, electrochemist and CEO and co-founder of Mangrove Lithium, based in Vancouver. His focus on lithium began three years ago with a lithi...2022-06-0741 min
