About Lithium Ark
Lithium Ark can redefine the lithium industry with its most advanced and efficient process. Our breakthrough technology eliminates the need for reagents most of the time, as lithium brines naturally contain potassium, enabling a highly efficient refining process. Even in less ideal conditions, reagent loss remains minimal—below 1%—while achieving a low carbon footprint and superior cost-effectiveness. Designed for scalability and commercial viability, our process offers a practical easy solution to meet the world’s growing demand for sustainable lithium production. Lithium Ark’s clear path to implementation and industry adoption positions it to lead the next generation of lithium refining.
For each ton of battery-grade lithium produced, Lithium Ark’s refining process:
Reduces operating costs by $1,500 to $2,900
Reduces carbon (CO2) emissions by 4 to 12 tons
Reduces energy consumption by more than 50%.
...versus competing refining pathways.
Cost values are based on salars in South America using conventional refining. Precise values will depend upon specific projects and conditions.
Lithium Ark Refinery: 100% Sourcing of Green Energy eliminates CO2 emissions. Precise CO2 reduction depends on specific brine or hard rock conventional projects.
