Two leading Canadian innovators are collaborating successfully to advance the Canadian electrochemical supply chain.
Vancouver, BC, March 21, 2023--(T-Net)--Ionomr Innovations announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with fellow Vancouver, B.C. company NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI) which provides for the initial testing of Ionomr's advanced anion exchange membranes in NESI's proprietary NORSCAND® electrolysis platforms for critical salt-splitting applications.
The electrochemical production of high-purity Lithium from diverse brines and mineral resources is increasingly seen as a key building block in the rapidly growing Lithium Ion Battery (LIB) industry.
Electrolysis allows the effective conversion of lithium precursors to the desired lithium hydroxide chemicals that enter battery use. It moreover represents a feasible pathway in the circular economy to re-processing by -products such as sodium sulphate into useful chemicals such as NaOH and H2SO4.
Ionomr has specialised in the development of durable, high-performance Anion Exchange Membranes (AEM), that allow longer lifetimes in both highly basic and strongly acidic environments. Ionomr's AEM, called Aemion®, does not use perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) or any fluorinated materials that are becoming increasingly regulated worldwide due to environmental concerns.
Ionomr's Aemion® technology is used by hydrogen producers across the globe to develop into their water electrolysis systems.
Small-scale validation testing with NESI in Q1 2023 is expected to validate the application of Ionomr's Aemion® for industrial salt-splitting processes.
