Why do #selectiveseparation processes matter? Because minimising impurities to be dealt with, minimises costs of processing. Why #membranes? Because it can be recycled, it is versatile and easy to deploy. Why nobody has done it before? Well, quite frankly, this one I can’t answer. But having been involved with high purity processes for a while now (manganese, alumina, REE, lithium and graphite) it’s not rocket science, it’s #rockscience!

In the latest MarketOpen podcast, Dr. Mike Jones shares an insightful update on Impact Minerals' Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) project, which recently received $2.87 million in Federal funding. Key topics covered include: 👉 The strategic impact of federal funding on Lake Hope’s pilot plant development. 👉 Advances in Membrane Selective Technology (MST) revolutionizing HPA production. 👉 Partnerships with CPC Engineering and Edith Cowan University to foster innovation. 👉 Lake Hope’s commitment to sustainability, including its goal of zero-liquid discharge. 👉 The commercial outlook for 2025 and positioning within the global HPA market. Watch below for a deep dive into groundbreaking advancements in HPA and the future of Impact Minerals. #ImpactMinerals #HPA #MarketOpen #Sustainability

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Critical minerals and the green energy transition --> https://lnkd.in/epSXQ2tQ In the new #MakeChangeHappen podcast episode we discuss the huge potential of critical minerals to support a global transition to clean energy and decarbonisation, while also examining some of the lesser-known issues associated with extracting these minerals. Critical minerals are in the headlines, attracting global attention for their potential in supporting a green transition. These minerals – such as cobalt, lithium and copper – make green technologies including electric vehicles, solar panels and wind turbines possible. If extracted in the right way, the opportunities presented by these minerals are huge. But if not managed well, critical minerals extraction can have negative impacts on communities, ecosystems and local economies. The episode features a conversation between IIED senior researcher Hyacinthe Eric Bamamen BISIL and executive director of African Resources Watch AFREWATCH, Emmanuel UMPULA. We also hear contributions from Ketakandriana Rafitoson, PhD, executive director of Publish What You Pay; IIED senior researcher Rose Mosi and IIED’s head of energy, Ben Garside. #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #extraction #EVs #podcast #ListenNow

What is (mine) waste? Is it an economic, environmental, policy related, or philosophical question?

In the latest Control Risks Global Insight #podcast, our colleagues Claudine Fry and Steve Norris highlight the potential trade-off between the West's efforts to de-risk and establish alternative supply chains and the imperative for a faster #EnergyTransition. #CriticalMinerals #SupplyChain

Companies in the critical minerals space should be putting strong supply chain management processes in place as well as engaging, monitoring, and trying to shape any upcoming regulations if they want to withstand current and future headwinds. In the latest Global Insight podcast, Claudine Fry and Steve Norris highlight the potential trade-off between the West's efforts to de-risk and establish alternative supply chains and the imperative for a faster energy transition.

Episode 189 of the Global Lithium LLC podcast is online. My comments on the history and rise of GanfengLithium which is a great example of why 中国is leading the world in the production of critical metals that drive the energy transition. Ganfeng’s growth is juxtaposed with the uninspiring performance Albemarle Corporation’s #lithium business. An example of why despite “first mover” and asset quality advantages, western companies are in danger of becoming “also rans” in lithium which they completely dominated less than 15 years ago. There is also a lesson on the significance of lime in lithium production from Mississippi Lime Company (now MLC) CEO Paul Hogan. A shout out to Henry Sanderson of BENCHMARK MINERAL INTELLIGENCE LIMITED for his recent Ganfeng interview which prompted me to discuss the history of the company and what western lithium companies can learn from them. Another shout out to Fastmarkets - I will be participating in their upcoming Lithium Conference & recording a live podcast with Daniel Jimenez Schuster. I may not be a fan of the current leader (emperor) of 中国 but I have tremendous respect for what China has done developing their lithium, cathode, battery & EV infrastructure along with the required supply chains while the west was, with a few notable exceptions, asleep at the switch. How many times did the two companies that are now Arcadium Lithium delay capital projects and under perform? Yes, I used ALB as my example but it is only one. SQM, the focus of E188, remains a western bright spot continuing to expand. At least for now, they remain the world’s leading upstream producer.
