E3 Lithium’s Collaborations with Two Universities Receive Federal NSERC Funding

10.04.2024  |  Business Wire
Highlights:
  • E3 Lithium is collaborating with McMaster University and the University of Alberta on research projects that have been awarded Alliance Missions Grants for Critical Minerals Research from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
  • McMaster University is conducting research aimed at maintaining and enhancing lithium concentrations in recovered subsurface lithium brine resources, and the University of Alberta is exploring ways to enhance the performance of fast charging lithium-ion batteries
  • E3 Lithium is providing data, resources and advisory services to support the research proposals and once complete, will identify ways to incorporate the data into its development and commercialization plans


E3 Lithium Ltd. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), "E3 Lithium" or the "Company," a leader in Canadian lithium, is pleased to announce it is collaborating with McMaster University and the University of Alberta to support research proposals aimed at enhancing lithium brine production methodologies and the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Upon the successful completion of the two projects, E3 Lithium will evaluate opportunities to include the data into its development and commercialization plans.

McMaster University

McMaster University's proposal includes developing enhanced brine recovery mechanisms that are aimed at maintaining and enhancing lithium concentrations from subsurface brine resources during reservoir production. The outcome includes the potential of improving the economic viability of sustainable lithium production in the Leduc. E3 Lithium is supplying the brine required for experimental use in this proposal and will provide aquifer characteristic data essential for designing, validating and benchmarking experimental and numerical models of subsurface lithium flow and transport. The Company is also lending its technical expertise to the project to support the integration of the research into long-term field plans and commercial plant operations.

University of Alberta

The University of Alberta's proposal involves developing innovative methods for producing high-quality battery-grade graphite from natural graphite to enhance the performance of fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. The main focus of the project is to understand graphite's role in lithium-ion batteries and enhancing its electrochemical properties. E3 Lithium is providing technical support for separating and collecting lithium during graphite anode recycling and wastewater treatment. The Company is guiding the selection and implementation of separation techniques to effectively isolate lithium from other components in the wastewater.

"This is an incredible opportunity for E3 Lithium to support Canadian research conducted by reputable post-secondary institutions, and use the data produced to identify and implement efficiencies in lithium production and apply new innovations," said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO of E3 Lithium. "If successful, these proposals have the potential to enhance Canada's competitive advantage in the global economy and position itself as a leader in the transition to renewable energy."
