Lithium Products & Equipment

TRU has probably the most qualified lithium team in the world - a strong capability in all aspects of lithium technology and industry - lithium brine and ore mining, compound & metal extraction, manufacturing and refining and has also worked extensively in the applications for lithium including in Li-ion, cells, batteries, compounds, ceramics, lithium quartz crystals, metal and lithium alloys. We are expert in the production and refining of lithium intermediates such as brines, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, butyl-lithium, lithium metal, lithium alloys and compounds. We know, have visited and have assessed most of the lithium facilities in the US, Chile, China*, Argentina etc. We have been involved in several technical, industry, economic, financial and marketing, supply-demand, feasibility and due diligence assignments in lithium Li, Lithium oxide (lithia) Li2O, Lithium bromide LiBr, Lithium carbonate Li2CO3, Lithium hydroxide monohydrate LiOH.H2O, Lithium chloride LiCl, Lithium fluoride LiF, Lithium hypochlorite LiOCl, Butyllithium: C4H9Li. Our team includes world renown battery, fuel cell, and electric vehicle experts.

Lithium Supply-Demand 2020 / Lithium Metal Market Study -  TRU  has undertaken long range 2020 lithium supply-demand market forecasts. The project was a major assessment employing our team of lithium supply side and demand side experts. The supply analysis was in detail for both brine and minerals. The demand side analysis included lithium consumption in batteries, lubricants, glass / glazing / ceramics, air conditioning, pharmaceuticals, polymers, metal alloy, and other applications. The outlook included demand in electric vehicles [including a detailed examination of EV and HEV battery technology innovation and the readiness of lithium cell technology for this application].  To our knowledge the study is the only authoritative long range lithium supply-demand analysis available.

In a separate assessment, TRU staff managed a review of markets for lithium metal including batteries, Al-Li alloys and organo lithium compounds. Lithium metal  [high & low sodium Li] and li alloy competitors were positioned, prominent butyllithium producers identified, and recommendations on development and market entry strategies put forward.
