FilmTec™ LiNE-XD nanofiltration elements are a finalist in
the Resource Recovery & Environmental Conservation
category.
WILMINGTON, Del.,
Feb. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) today announced
that FilmTec™ LiNE-XD nanofiltration membrane elements, the
company's first offering dedicated to lithium brine purification,
was named a finalist in the 2024 Edison Awards™ in the Resource
Recovery & Environmental Conservation category.
Lithium brine purification is critical to producing batteries
needed for electrification to help combat climate change. FilmTec™
LiNE-XD elements can help enable lithium production from resources
such as salt lake brine, geothermal brine, and surface and
sub-surface clay. FilmTec™ LiNE-XD nanofiltration membrane elements
are designed to withstand harsh conditions while also yielding high
recovery of both lithium and water; requiring less energy than
other methods.
"With a future powered by batteries, the demand for lithium
continues to rise rapidly—and so does demand for cleaner and more
efficient extraction methods that can be made possible by
membranes," said Verónica Garcia
Molina, Global Marketing Leader, Industrial Water &
Energy, DuPont Water Solutions. "We're excited and honored for this
recognition of our team's dedication to innovation and
sustainability."
The durability, selectivity and permeability of FilmTec™ LiNE-XD
nanofiltration membrane elements can help enable lithium mining
operations, including emerging applications such as direct lithium
extraction (DLE), to help enhance lithium yield, reduce energy
consumption and increase membrane lifetime compared to conventional
nanofiltration membranes. Additionally, cleaning, chemical usage
and disposal can be reduced in downstream lithium concentration
thanks to its efficient removal of scaling impurities.
The Edison Awards™ is an annual competition honoring excellence
in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered
design, and innovation. The gold, silver and bronze winners will be
announced at the 2024 Edison Awards Gala in Fort Myers, Florida, on April 18, 2024.
DuPont's water technologies help purify more than 50 million
gallons of water every minute around the world, enable water reuse
and recycling, desalination, and the safe access of both ground and
surface water. DuPont offers solutions to a variety of water and
sustainability challenges faced by industrial water users and water
treatment municipalities through a broad portfolio of membranes,
resins and systems (including reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, ion
exchange resins (IEX), ultrafiltration (UF), electrodeionization
(EDI), nanofiltration (NF), membrane bioreactor systems (MBR),
membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR), and closed-circuit
reverse osmosis (CCRO) systems).
