Novalith's Technology

A scalable platform for lithium extraction using CO₂

Our technology swaps strong acids for carbonated water, to extract lithium from lithium-bearing ores.

Lithium Supply Chain

Mine to Battery

The conventional process for extracting lithium from lithium bearing ores such as spodumene and clays requires large amounts of sulphuric acid that is environmentally harmful, slow to deploy and requires significant capital costs.

Replacing the traditional Refinery

Novalith's LiCAL^® technology replaces the conventional lithium refinery. Our process is much simpler and doesn’t rely on strong acids or bases. Instead we use CO₂ from industrial sources and utilise this to directly extract and convert the lithium into battery grade lithium carbonate. By using CO₂ our process is significantly cheaper than the conventional, has a smaller footprint and produces a low-carbon and environmentally sustainable lithium.

LiCAL^® Technology

Our Advantage

Fastest path to sustainable lithium

Low-carbon Lithium

We directly use CO2 in our process to extract and refine lithium from lithium bearing ores resulting in a CO2 footprint that is a fraction of conventional technologies.

Robust Process

Our technology is robust, allowing us to achieve high lithium recoveries from low quality lithium-bearing ores.

High Quality Lithium Product

Novalith's unique process is efficient, resulting in high lithium recoveries and high product quality.

Green Lithium

We use less water and produce inert bulk by-products from our process, significantly reducing the environmental burden of lithium extraction & refining.

Faster to Deploy

Due to process simplicity and environmental benefits, Novalith can deploy its lithium refining technology much faster than conventional technologies.
