Lithium Ark's proprietary Ark Loop™ process recycles potassium in a closed circuit, eradicating soda ash consumption and producing battery-grade chemicals with up to 50% lower OPEX and CAPEX.
Rather than producing lithium carbonate to then re-dissolve and convert it, Ark Loop reacts lithium chloride directly in a continuous single-stage loop.
Direct feed from DLE (Direct Lithium Extraction) or conventional salar evaporation ponds.
Reciprocal salt reaction reacting LiCl with regenerated KOH. Directly precipitates lithium hydroxide without producing sodium sulfate waste.
Crystallized high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Flexible: can also output battery-grade carbonate on demand.
The KCl byproduct is sent to a standard industrial chlor-alkali electrolytic cell, continuously regenerating KOH for reuse. No external reagents purchased, zero sodium sulfate waste produced.
Ark Loop's reciprocal salt technology is protected by granted patents worldwide, designed and backed by seasoned industry leadership.
25+ years leading lithium process engineering and brine optimization across the Lithium Triangle and global deposits. Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and JORC standards.
Industrial Civil Engineer specializing in mining technology scalability, international industrial partnerships, and circular economy implementation for critical raw materials.
Whether you are developing a salar asset, evaluating DLE technology, or planning a modular refinery, our team is ready to evaluate feedstock compatibility and project economics.
