Bolivia’s YLB says that CBC (China), Protecno (Italy), Eramet (France), and Eau Lithium (Australia) obtained the very best marks for technological maturity within the second worldwide name for tasks to develop the lithium reserve.

YLB stated in a press release that the businesses have been chosen for his or her “stage of technological maturity, monetary proposals, technical parameters, and venture implementation timelines.” It added that three of the businesses have confirmed techniques that function efficiently in actual environments, whereas one makes use of a completely certified system in an operational setting.

The CBC proposes the extraction of lithium from the residual brine utilizing the adsorption methodology. Protecno proposes wastewater therapy for current crops, in addition to water providers for close by communities. Eramet and Eau Lithium submitted proposals for direct lithium extraction (DEL) from brine.

The worldwide name was launched in January. Bolivia is advancing the industrialization of lithium by means of DEL know-how, with restoration charges of 80% to 90%, and evaporation know-how, which recovers 30% to 40% of assets from salts flat.
