Keliber pilot-scale test programme results in high conversion rate of 96.3%

Keliber has completed the first three phases of a four-phase pilot-scale test programme. The pilot-scale test programme resulted in average conversion rate of 96.3% in a continuous high-temperature conversion pilot trial performed in cooperation with FLSmidth.

Keliber states that the purpose of the test programme is to verify the functionality of the ore from the company's largest deposit, Rapasaari, at all stages of the process, from ore mining to the end-product lithium hydroxide. Keliber has previous performed a similar pilot-scale test programme using ore from Syväjärvi, the deposit where mining will start first.

Keliber’s press release with more details about the pilot-scale test programme is available at: https://www.keliber.fi/en/news/news-releases-and-publications/DDFD8635E4E2DE43/
