Rio Tinto achieves battery grade lithium production at Boron plant, California

Rio Tinto achieves battery grade lithium production at Boron plant, California Rio Tinto achieves battery grade lithium production at Boron plant, California 8 April 2021 Group, the Anglo-Australian metals and mining corporation, has commenced production of battery-grade lithium from waste rock at a lithium demonstration plant at the Boron mine site in California, United States. The demonstration plant is the next step in scaling up a breakthrough lithium production process developed at Boron, to recover the critical mineral and extract additional value out of waste piles from over 90 years of mining at the operation. An initial small-scale trial in 2019 successfully proved the process of roasting and leaching waste rock to recover high grades of lithium.

An initial small-scale trial in 2019 successfully proved the process of roasting and leaching waste rock to recover high grades of lithium. The demonstration plant has a design capacity of 10 tonnes per year of battery grade lithium. It will be run throughout 2021 to optimise the process and inform Rio Tinto s feasibility assessment for progressing to a production scale plant with an initial capacity of at least 5,000 tonnes per year, or enough to make batteries for approximately 70,000 electric vehicles.

Rio Tinto Begins Production Of Battery-grade Lithium From Project At Boron

Rio Tinto Begins Production Of Battery-grade Lithium From Project At Boron LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Rio Tinto (RTPPF.PK, RIO.L, RIO, RTNTF.PK) said it has started production of battery-grade lithium from waste rock at a lithium demonstration plant at the Boron mine site in California, United States. The demonstration plant has a design capacity of 10 tonnes per year of battery grade lithium. Rio Tinto Minerals chief executive Sinead Kaufman said This is a valuable next step in scaling up our production of lithium at the Boron site, all from using waste material without the need for further mining.
