ABOUT VEOLIA WATER TECHNOLOGIES
DETAILS
is a leader in lithium compounds production in China.
The facility is the first of several new production units
expected to come on line in the coming years to supply
lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate
for use in green technology products such as
* advanced batteries for electric vehicles and
* “3C” (Computer, Communication
and Consumer Electronics) applications.
Veolia will supply three of its proprietary
to process spodumene rock into lithium products.
Veolia is providing
a unique Mechanical Vapor Recompression solution
that enables the process to remove impurities
to a very low level with low energy consumption,
allowing a low cost production of high value products.
Battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate
will be produced in a two-stage crystallizer.
In addition to responding
to specific technical and commercial requirements,
Veolia proposed a fast-track approach
to implementation to enable
General Lithium to respond
to the increasing demand on an accelerated timetable.
The increasing production of lithium hydroxide
is occurring globally, with current
mineral- and/or brine-based operations
located in
China, Australia and North and South America.
Reflecting the growing demand,
the price for lithium hydroxide has more than
doubled during the past year.
Klaus Andersen
CEO, Veolia Water Technologies, Inc.
“Demand for lithium hydroxide is projected
to continue to grow rapidly over the next few years,”
" Veolia has demonstrated its expertise
and the exceptional performance
of its crystallization technology
in supplying battery grade products,
whether produced from brine or rocks.
We look forward to working with our customers
to enable them to help meet
the rising global demand.”
