Capacitive lithium capture system using a mixed LiMn2O4 and LiAlO2 material – Qatar

This study explores an innovative approach for selective lithium recovery using membrane-based capacitive deionization (MCDI) with electrode materials derived from spent Li-ion batteries. The mixed LiMn2O4/LiAlO2 cathode demonstrated superior performance, achieving 83.1% Li recovery efficiency and 38.15 mg/g deionization capacity. MCDI offers advantages such as fast processing, high removal capacities, and regeneration ability, contributing to a more sustainable lithium circular economy. The promising results lay a foundation for future research to optimize electrode materials and system design, addressing the increasing lithium demand while minimizing environmental impact.

Qatar seeks fresh bids for Facility E IWPP water and power project – Qatar

Bidding groups for Qatar’s planned Facility E independent water and power project (IWPP) have been asked by Kahramaa, the Qatari state utility to submit alternative prices by February 28 for a larger capacity power generation component.

Earlier last year, media reports said that bids had been received by Kahramaa from three groups for the Facility E IWPP project, with Japanese firms dominating the bid list.

The three bidders submitted final clarifications for original bids in November and have been invited to submit alternative proposals by February 28 for […]
