Advanced separation membrane for sustainable lithium mining and recycling

该项目旨在开发一种基于新发明的锂选择性陶瓷聚合物膜的新型膜技术，并将其商业化，以实现低成本、环保的锂回收和循环利用。该项目预计将在锂离子分离膜的设计和放大方面产生深入的知识，并为现场锂提取测试创建一个锂提取原型。该项目的预期成果包括锂分离膜的完全商业化和新的知识产权，以建立一个新的膜制造工业，这是改造锂采矿和回收工业所迫切需要的。

The project aims to develop and commercialise a novel membrane-based technology based on a newly invented lithium-selective ceramic-polymer membrane for low-cost and environmentally friendly lithium recovery and recycling from various sources. The project expects to generate deep knowledge in the design and scaling up of lithium ion separation membranes, and create a lithium extraction prototype for on-site lithium extraction testing. Expected outcomes of the project include full commercialisation of the lithium separation membrane and new intellectual property for establishing a new membrane manufacturing industry that is critically needed for transforming lithium mining and recycling industries.
