Join the 2nd Capacity-Building Webinar of LITHOS project, focused on low-cost and sustainable routes for developing new pathways for processing and refining lithium in Europe.

The webinar features two high-level presentations followed by a brief Q&A:

“Strategies, Opportunities, and Challenges for the Development of LCIs for Battery Raw Materials” (11:00–12:00 CET)
Dr. Aina Mas Fons — Research Engineer, BRGM (France)
An overview of methods, opportunities and challenges for developing life-cycle inventories (LCIs) for battery raw materials

“LITHOS WP2: Preliminary findings on characterisation and beneficiation test work”
Dr. Jussi Liipo — Director, Geometallurgy & Mineralogy (12:00–13:00CEΤ )
Annukka Aaltonen Msc, Technology Manager, Metso (Finland)
Presentation of initial test results and early insights into mineral characterisation and beneficiation approaches being tested within LITHOS.

The webinar is addressed to:

  • undergraduate and graduate students
  • early-stage researchers
  • professionals interested in advancing their expertise in the fields of mineral processing and LCIs

Interested participants are invited to register here.

Registered participants will receive an email with the link for the webinar.

Immediately after its M24 Consortium meeting, the LiCORNE project will co-organise the first edition of the Symposium on Direct Lithium Extraction (SDLE). The event is hosted between 17 and 18 October 2024 by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

This symposium will delve into the latest advancements and innovative technologies in the field of direct lithium extraction (DLE), fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to drive forward this critical sector.

Topical Overview:­

  • Liquid / solid Li extraction technologies
  • Membrane & precipitation technologies
  • Conversion to battery
  • Electrochem. Li extraction & Desalination Technologies
  • Concentration & Purification of Li-brines

The symposium will feature additional

  • industry sessions
  • poster sessions, where interested parties can submit abstracts
