Finnish company Sensment launched a new technology that significantly improves the production efficiency of lithium.
In a press release, the Oulu-based firm explained that, traditionally, battery metal manufacturers had to rely on batch sampling and laboratory analyses to control their processes but this is costly, labour intensive, and typically involves a delay of 4–10 hours. In contrast, Sensmet’s technology, dubbed Micro-Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy µDOES, is able to measure multiple metals, such as any battery metal and their impurities, in real time.
According to Sensment, data from the system’s analyzer are displayed locally showing the concentrations and trends for each metal, and peak levels can be set for each element. Results are transferred digitally to users’ databases and/or the cloud. In the view of the team at Sensmet, given the large sums of money involved in lithium production, the accurate dosing of precipitation chemicals is extremely important.
In addition to lithium manufacturing, the technology is also suited for the ‘black mass’ recycling of battery metals. Strict online monitoring and control are implemented to reduce impurity levels and thereby prevent the cost and delay incurred by retreatment.in Finland, ran a pilot-scale test programme in 2022 to evaluate the µDOES analyzer in the continuous optimization of precipitation chemical dosing during lithium production.
