Century Lithium Corp. (CYDVF) reports promising results from its new lithium carbonate stage at the Pilot Plant in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. The company’s lithium carbonate purity reached as high as 99.2%, nearing battery-grade standard. This achievement marks a key milestone, enabling Century Lithium to process lithium solution completely onsite.
Century Lithium’s 99.2% Lithium Carbonate Purity
Century Lithium has made significant strides in increasing the purity of its lithium carbonate. During the plant’s initial startup, the company produced several lots of lithium carbonate with improving purity levels. The goal is to surpass the typical battery-grade standard of 99.5%.
Successful Onsite Lithium Processing
This achievement is crucial as it demonstrates the ability of Century Lithium to handle lithium processing entirely at the Pilot Plant. Previously, the company relied on offsite treatment for processing. The new capability reduces processing time and cost, enhancing overall efficiency.
Purity Improvements and Identified Challenges
The company plans to continue optimizing the process to increase purity levels while addressing identified impurities like calcium and magnesium. Ongoing collaborations with engineering partners are expected to enhance the treatment results further.
