Responsible by Design: How IBC follows Green Engineering & Green Chemistry Principles
How Irresponsible Mining Can Lead to Disaster On a late-November day in 2016, a flock of snow geese migrating south set down to rest on a lake in Butte, Montana. From a distance the water looked inviting; a still, emerald-green expanse ringed by terraced rock. Within days, several thousand of the birds were dead. By […]
Lithium Recycling Challenges and How Direct Lithium to Product® (DLP™) Improves Lithium Economics
Lithium Solves the Puzzle of Energy Storage Lithium is the foundation of the modern energy transition. Its unique electrochemical properties, notably the highest electric potential of any metal (3.7 eV) combined with the lowest atomic weight, make it irreplaceable in high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. Every electric vehicle, every grid battery, and every consumer device powered by […]
Macrocyclic Chemistry: From Nobel Prizes to the Realization of Precision Industry
Scaling highly selective, high precision separations with Molecular Recognition Technology® (MRT™) What began as a Nobel Prize-winning discovery in “host-guest” chemistry has evolved into a cornerstone of modern industrial separation. By engineering molecules that recognize and bind specific metals with atomic precision, Molecular Recognition Technology® (MRT™) is realizing the decades-old vision of rearranging atoms to create a […]
Recovering Critical Minerals from Oil & Gas Brines: Turning Produced Water into a Strategic Resource
Brines occur naturally in many environments, and they are increasingly recognized as potential sources of valuable minerals. Underground aquifers can become saline as water slowly dissolves minerals from surrounding rock formations. In the simplest terms, brine refers to water containing a high concentration of dissolved salts. But beneath that straightforward definition lies a complex mixture. […]
DLP™ is carbon free!
DLP™ is carbon free! IBC’s Direct Lithium to Product® (DLP™) process was recently evaluated by a third party for carbon emissions. Key findings include: 0️⃣The DLP™ process itself emits zero carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). CO2e emissions come only from indirect emissions (purchased electricity) and upstream reagent emissions. ⚡With carbon reduction measures, such as purchasing energy preferentially through […]
Companies from Eight Countries Show Interest in ENAMI’s Lithium Project in Chile: Grupo Errázuriz-IBC Among Those Interested
IBC wins the Voltas 2024 Innovation Award for its revolutionary Direct Lithium to Product® (DLP™) technology
Prime Lithium and IBC Partner to Produce Carbon Neutral Lithium and Clean Water in Wyoming
The DLP™ process is “very, very powerful” and “like no other” says Gustavo Lagos, a Chilean lithium pioneer, after visiting the DLP™ pilot plant in Maricunga.
