The Lithium Mine of the Future

Summit Nanotech's award winning denaLi™ direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology is a line of extraction processes created to produce high quality lithium chloride, lithium carbonate and/or lithium hydroxide from natural lithium resources. This technology addresses critical supply and sustainability issues to meet the surge in lithium demand due to the increased pace of adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy.

The denaLi™ DLE technology doubles yield, reduces GHG emissions, uses no fresh water, minimizes the use of chemicals, and cuts chemical waste by 90% compared to traditional processes, surpassing all global ESG standards. In addition to this, denaLi™ DLE also has the capacity to recover lithium from lithium-ion battery recycling streams contributing to the circular economy of the future.
