The core of the International Battery Metals technology is a proprietary filter media comprised of tiny hexagonal crystals that hold the lithium-ion molecules while larger ions go right on by.

International Battery Metal’s Modular Direct Lithium Extraction (MDLE) technology is designed to overcome the challenges of traditional lithium extraction, offering a more efficient, environmentally friendly solution. The video highlights the key advantages of IBAT's technology, including its modular design, high lithium filtration rate, fast time to market, and low operating and capital costs. The video also showcases the company's commitment to sustainable lithium extraction, minimizing environmental impact, and maximizing resource conservation.

Inside our first-of-its-kind modular DLE system lies the key to our clean lithium extraction process. 

As brinewater passes through our proprietary absorbent media the lithium inside encounters another IBAT innovation: tiny hexagonal crystals made up of platelets. Each platelet is embedded with filter holes to attract and hold the lithium as the brine water passes through it, a process that takes mere milliseconds. 

Its double selective size exclusion favoring only the lithium and chloride ions which are small enough to be caught in the holes. Borate, sulfate, and other larger ions go right by. The negatively charged Chloride ions hold near the positive charge between the platelets.

Once the crystals are fully saturated, clean strip water is sent into the vessel, pushing out the salts and other elements and pulling the lithium back out of the crystals.

The spent brine is pushed out, and the lithium Chloride-rich water is sent to the Product tank for further concentration. Spent brine is sent out at the same volume and makeup as it had at the start, minus the lithium. 

International Battery Metals is THE modular direct lithium extraction process that uses minimal outside water and minimal chemicals, reducing the environmental impact, operating costs, and capital expenses.
