Operational Highlights: Progress with AcQUA™ Technology
LiTHOS continues demonstrating substantial progress in its AcQUA™ technology, a cutting-edge solution for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). The AcQUA™ system has proven highly effective in lithium brine processing, optimizing lithium chloride concentration while significantly reducing fresh water and chemical consumption. These results are critical in advancing the sustainability of lithium extraction processes, particularly in resource-rich areas such as the Salar de Atacama.
Through collaboration with key partners, including some of the world’s leading lithium producers, AcQUA™ has undergone rigorous testing and field trials. These have showcased the system’s scalability and efficiency across diverse brine compositions, positioning LiTHOS at the forefront of lithium extraction technology. The Company is now in the advanced stages of commercializing this technology, which will support the increasing demand for lithium in battery production.
As part of its strategic plan, LiTHOS will continue refining the AcQUA™ process for large-scale deployment. The success of these trials strengthens LiTHOS’ ability to offer innovative, field-ready solutions for lithium production that not only meet but exceed environmental and economic standards. These operational advancements mark an exciting chapter in LiTHOS’ mission to transform lithium extraction technology globally.
