KMX Collaborating with CanmetMINING on Lithium Research

KMX's proprietary technology will optimize the concentration of lithium following the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process with maximum water recovery.

MISSISSAUGA, CANADA, August 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KMX Technologies is honored to be collaborating with CanmetMINING of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), through a task-shared agreement, as part of the Federal Research and Development component of the Canadian government’s $47.7 million CAD Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration Program announced under Budget 2021.

As part of the project, KMX will optimize the concentration of lithium following the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process with maximum water recovery of the highest quality. KMX will use its proprietary membrane distillation technology to achieve this goal. CanmetMINING will employ their expertise in water treatment and assist in integrating this technology in the overall lithium production scheme. The focus of the project will be on enhancing lithium recovery across North America utilizing the most sustainable and economical processes.

KMX is pleased to work with leading Canadian government research organizations and industry participants as part of the project.

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources of Canada, said, “Critical minerals are an integral part of the clean technology and renewable energy sources that will help us to fight climate change, lower emissions, and build up the low-carbon economy.”

He added, “This is why the collaboration between KMX and CanmetMINING is so promising. Canadian innovation such as this can lead the way in the sustainable production of the lithium we need to achieve a net-zero future.”

KMX CEO, Zachary Sadow said, “KMX’s work with the Canadian government will help ensure the coming North American lithium supply chain reshoring build-out is done with the highest environmental considerations.”
