Chemical Refining Company Softens Lithium Chloride Streams prior to Lithium Carbonate Production with SAMCO Ion Exchange System
Chemical Refining Company Softens Lithium Chloride Streams prior to Lithium Carbonate Production with SAMCO Ion Exchange System
Remove hardness from lithium chloride brine stream for downstream lithium carbonate production at a rate of 440 GPM - SAMCO delivered a high capacity IX system for softening of surface brine to support the client’s lithium carbonate production. In order to deliver consistent purity levels, SAMCO designed the system with three identical IX columns arranged in merry-go-round configuration, allowing the system to dynamically maintain two active columns and one regeneration column at all times. To enable fast-track delivery, SAMCO designed, constructed, and installed the prepackaged system.
