Resource Recovery and Lithium

Gradiant expertise and technologies are proven commercially in the sustainable production and recovery of valuable metals, including lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and uranium. In addition, we offer solutions for IPA recovery in the semiconductor industry.

It is complex and resource-intensive to extract lithium and other high-demand, valuable resources from brine deposits found in continental, geothermal, and oil field sources. Traditional methods have relied on inefficient evaporation ponds to concentrate metals — requiring enormous areas of land and great patience given that processing times can take years. We offer an alternative solution that is advanced and highly efficient.

We offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions for lithium and metals production from extraction of metals from brine deposits or geothermal brines, to concentration of flows, and conversion to battery-grade quality.

We have proven know-how to:

Yield the high-value end-product the industry demands
Efficiently process lower ore grades
Customize solutions for complex process streams
Ensure environmental discharge compliance
Design and operate facilities in remote locations
