A solar-thermal desalination system developed at the University of Rochester converts seawater to fresh water using black metal panels etched with femtosecond lasers. The process absorbs sunlight, separates salts via self-cleaning surfaces, and extracts lithium from the salts. It avoids chemical additives and brine waste, offering a cleaner alternative to reverse osmosis and thermal distillation.
Vancouver-based NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. received $5.6 million in federal and provincial funding to scale its next-generation electrochemical lithium refining platform. The company claims the platform will double capacity with improved performance, reduced power consumption, and lower plant costs. Lithium demand is expected to drastically outweigh supply by 2035.
