Mobile Extraction Array with brine constituent separation, purification and concentration
A system that uses single or multiple elements arranged in a single unit or multiple arrays for the extraction, purification, and concentration of lithium and other constituents from a brine that can be constructed in a mobile unit.
1 . A system of single elements arranged in an array for the extraction, isolation, purification, and concentration of lithium and various other constituents.
2 . The combination of the single element array of claim 1 with the use of a purification membrane similarly arranged in arrays for the purification of lithium and various other constituents.
3 . In combination with the array of claim 1 and the purification array of claim 2 a concentration array enables greater capacity and reduced destruction of the extraction material.
4 . Targeted constituents of claim 1 , 2 , or 3 can include but are not limited specifically to lithium and could also include: monovalent, divalent, metal, and organic elements. Examples may include calcium, zinc, and carbon.
5 . A system as described in claim 1 , 2 , or 3 that is able td be fitted to a mobile carrier. Such examples include but are not limited to an over the road trailer, shipping container, railcar, airlift container.
6 . The use of membrane separated CO2 to directly produce a lithium carbonate product where lithium is the specific targeted constituent for extraction, from a source
7 . The use of electrolysis to directly convert the lithium rich brine to a lithium hydroxide produce with only the requirement of the secondary purification process having the primary purification process be the incorporate purification and concentration units described.
