Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (OTCQB: TELIF) and Altillion Inc. have successfully collaborated to produce battery-quality lithium carbonate from brines. Telescope's proprietary ReCRFT™ recrystallization technology, applied to lithium-containing brines concentrated via Altillion's ALIX process, consistently yielded lithium carbonate exceeding 99.9% purity.

This collaboration aims to establish a secure, sustainable, and on-shore supply of high-purity lithium carbonate for North American battery raw materials. The combined technologies simplify the traditional 5-step lithium brine processing into a more efficient 2-step process, potentially reducing costs and improving energy efficiency. Telescope is now building a lab-scale ReCRFT™ pilot plant in Vancouver, BC, to further advance this goal.

Telescope's proprietary ReCRFT process produces >99.5% pure lithium carbonate from Altillion's brine concentrates

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 17, 2024) - Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (OTCQB: TELIF) ("Telescope Innovations" or the "Company"), a leading developer of advanced technologies and services for the global pharmaceutical and chemical industries, announces the successful outcome of a research engagement with Altillion, Inc. ("Altillion") an innovator in lithium brine processing.

During this project, Telescope Innovations applied its proprietary ReCRFT™ recrystallization technology to lithium-containing brines that had been concentrated via Altillion's novel ALIX process. The resulting lithium carbonate consistently exceeded 99.9% purity, passing the quality requirements for battery raw materials.

TOWARDS A NORTH AMERICAN SUPPLY OF BATTERY RAW MATERIALS

A secure, sustainable, and on-shore supply of high-purity lithium carbonate is crucial to meet domestic demand for battery raw materials for the clean energy transition. The challenge is that isolating dilute lithium from the high-impurity brine resources in North America traditionally requires several processing steps and additional reagents, resulting in CAPEX and OPEX costs that exceed what can be achieved overseas.

Altillion and Telescope Innovations are addressing this challenge by collapsing the flowsheets associated with lithium brine processing, from direct lithium extraction to battery-grade lithium carbonate (Figure 1):

  • Altillion's ALIX technology concentrates lithium from brines in fewer steps than traditional filtration, reverse osmosis, and evaporation processes.
  • Telescope Innovations' ReCRFT™produces lithium carbonate directly from post-DLE concentrates, and can therefore reduce or eliminate traditional feed polishing steps. ReCRFT™ also has a high tolerance for feed variability and reduces reagent usage to improve cost efficiency.
  • The combination of Altillion and Telescope Innovations technologies can be applied to any relevant lithium brine source, including oilfield brines, continental brines, geothermal brines, and salars.

Based on the success of this project, as well as the Company's prior work with Natural Resources Canada, Standard Lithium Ltd., and Canada's Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator ("MICA"), Telescope Innovations is now building a lab-scale ReCRFT™ pilot plant in Vancouver, BC.

"We are very pleased with the robustness and applicability of ReCRFT for a wide variety of North American lithium resources," said Dr. Ryan Jansonius, Telescope Innovations VP of Chemistry Contract Services. "Our collaboration with Altillion highlights how the ALIX process, which produces exceptionally concentrated lithium chloride with minimal impurities, can be combined with our recrystallization technology to dramatically simplify the production of battery raw materials. We're excited about the potential of this combination to enable a North American supply chain and look forward to advancing this goal."

"Altillion is thrilled to partner with Telescope Innovations to demonstrate how our ALIX process simplifies lithium production from DLE eluates," said Altillion CEO, Jay Keener. "By fully concentrating lithium without energy intensive methods like reverse osmosis or forced evaporation, ALIX greatly simplifies flow sheets for producing high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate. Combining ALIX with Telescope's robust and efficient ReCRFT™ technology significantly advances a solution for securing a sustainable, profitable lithium supply chain in North America."
