“Currently the brine stream from a desalination plant is essentially a waste stream, despite the fact that it has some potentially valuable salts within it. The problem is that the different ions are difficult to separate from each other. A technology which could turn the brine into a value stream would be immensely valuable.”

Some other identified problems
• Expensive thermal evaporation technologies are todays only option for brine
• Scaling is today a general issue in saline water treatment
• Desalination Energy increases exponentially when salinity increases
• Lack of water treatment solution for many Mining tailing ponds
• Chemical pollution by extraction processes (pH-swing, precipitation…)
• Primary Material Extraction needs more and more water as solvent because of:
— Lower mineral ore concentrations
— Enhanced Oil Recovery implementation to sustain supply…
• Organics in saline water is a treatment challenge today

Application example: Lithium
• 4 months to 1 year production cycle • Huge amounts of water evaporated
Lithium salt brine evaporation ponds Salar de Atacama (Chile)
• Lithuim: a fast growing $800 million market due to Li-ion batteries development for clean mobility.
Substitute solar evaporation production ponds
• Liquid-liquid salt extraction will generate a paradygm change
— Open multi billion $ of new desalination applications,
— Allow -30% to -90% Energy savings
— Help industries minimize their environmental impact & optimize process
— Give access to cost effective solutions for selectivity & brine treatment
• Adionics is building value with a passionate team of scientists, engineers
and techniciens
— Today in a process of raising funds (2nd tour)
