Opening Ceremony for the Direct Lithium to Product® (DLP™) Pilot Plant at the Salar de Maricunga Scheduled for July 2023 February 23, 2023July 27, 2026
Past methods are ‘just not going to get us there’ – IBC’s Izatt on ramping up lithium production. January 4, 2023July 27, 2026
MRT™ forms the foundation for future economic growth in metal separations. MRT™ separations are used by major corporations worldwide. Areas of expertise include manufacturing the SuperLig® products, engineering MRT™ systems that fit seamlessly into industrial plant operations, and providing technical support for the operating system on site. Economic advantages of simplified MRT™ processes over complex traditional processes stem from high metal selectivity and process simplicity including non-use of organic solvents. MRT™ processes have economic advantages compared to traditional separation processes. December 1, 2022July 27, 2026
Development of the copper industry in the U.S.A. in the late 19th century led to remarkable growth in the communications and electrical industries and to extensive mine drainage sites such as Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana. November 23, 2022July 27, 2026
A tree with roots, trunk, and leaves is analogous to the commercial development of chemical science – the discovery of the elements, the evolution of the periodic table and the acquired knowledge of unique and unexpected elemental properties leading to commercial products. Nourishing the roots has led over the past two centuries to sturdy trunks and limbs and to the remarkable fruit harvest of our modern high tech society. October 12, 2022July 27, 2026
Platinum Group Metals (PGM) have similar chemical properties making them difficult to separate. MRT™ processes are able to effectuate highly selective separations of the individual platinum group metals. September 11, 2022July 27, 2026
Lithium, cobalt and nickel are important energy metals used in Li-ion batteries. Separation of lithium from sodium and magnesium in brines is very difficult due to their chemical similarities. August 8, 2022July 27, 2026
Presenters: J.S. Bradshaw, R.M. Izatt, S.R. Izatt (right) Cobalt and nickel are found together in nature. IBC has highly selective MRT™ products that can separate nickel and cobalt from laterite ores and from each other at high purity with minimal waste generation. July 23, 2022July 27, 2026
