Research & process development

Understanding the brine. Evaluating the process.

Eon’s process-development work focuses on brine characterisation, selective extraction and purification, supported by laboratory research and preliminary engineering.

Brine process research equipment in a laboratory
Laboratory work supports the evaluation of processing routes.

We evaluate processing options against the characteristics of the brine. The objective is to establish the technical basis for further testing and future pilot development.

01

Brine characterisation

Understanding the chemical composition of the feed and the impurities that influence process selection.

02

Extraction and concentration

Assessing concentration routes and selective lithium-extraction approaches.

03

Treatment and purification

Evaluating impurity treatment, carbonate chemistry and purification steps.

04

Engineering and further testing

Connecting laboratory work with flowsheet development and the requirements for a future pilot programme.
