S5E11 - Can Lithium Mining Astoundingly solve the Brine Riddle with Benefits? | (don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

Description

with 🎙️ Benjamin Sparrow - CEO and Co-Founder at Saltworks Technologies

💧 Saltworks provides innovative products and solutions for industrial wastewater treatment and desalination.

What we covered:

🤔 How we will need a lot more lithium to cover the World’s needs over the next decade – and how conventional sources might not be sufficient

💰 How a lot of money and investments flow to the battery production industry, and surprisingly much less to the lithium mining sector

💪 How industrial wastewater could actually be an incredible source of lithium – and how to mine it

🦸‍♂️ What DLE and CRC stand for – and why Direct Lithium Extraction and Concentrating, Refining, and Converting are a key to the future of Lithium-Ion batteries

🚀 How Saltworks’ technology was first used by… NASA!

♻️ How Saltworks’ approach to Lithium Mining is an incredible example of circular economy done right

🛠️ How Saltworks’ adventure started in a garage – and how they may well be back in it for a stealth project

🔁 How the company pivoted its original approach and what milestones they would have to reach before returning to it

🧑‍🔬 How their technology can be summarized as a way to split columns in the periodic table of the elements

📈 How much of a hot Wall Street’s prospect Direct Lithium Extraction is right now (and what to think about it)

⛪ How the church of England may well be the most influential and surprising impact investor out there

🤝 Striving out of the box, water and its compounds being on the industrial’s critical path, fostering the right team spirit, crossing the valley of death, caring and aiming for turbocharged solutions… and much more!

🔥 … and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥

➡️ Come say hi to Benjamin on LinkedIn

➡️ Check out the full story (and an infographic) on Lithium Mining

Currently in its 10th Season, the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast has already welcomed around 250 guests from Water Majors (SUEZ, Veolia, Jacobs, Xylem, Kemira, Evoqua, Aquatech, SKion Water...), Scale-Ups (Cambrian Innovation, Epic Cleantec, Gradiant, Liqtech, 374Water, Gingko Bioworks...), Start-Ups (Puraffinity, KETOS, 120Water, ZwitterCo, Membrion, Source...), Universities (Berkeley, the Columbia Water Center), Investment Funds (Sciens Water, Mazarine, Burnt Island Ventures...), Business Accelerators (Imagine H2O, Elemental...), Book Authors (Seth Siegel, David Sedlak, David Lloyd Owen...) or Market Intelligence Companies (BlueTech Research, Global Water Intelligence, World Bank, OECD, Isle Utilities...). Or simply water legends like Gary White, Mina Guli or Andrew Benedek!

On the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast, I strive to make the Water Industry easy to understand for everyone, starting with water professionals, executives, and investors. Hence, he opens the microphone to seasoned, inspirational water experts to discuss their field of excellence.

No one can claim an all-around in-depth understanding of a matter as complex as Water. But piece by piece, you can rebuild the puzzle. With curiosity, patience, and passion, Antoine Walter explores topics such as Advanced Treatment Technologies, Water-Energy Nexus (Hydrogen, Lithium...), PFAS removal, Nature-Based Solutions, Wastewater Reuse, Distributed Water Treatments, Water Finance, and Water Entrepreneurship.

I actually firmly believe that regular listeners of the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast may, in the end, claim a "Water MBA!"

A particular field of interest is how innovation forms, grows and gets widely adopted in a complex and conservative field like the Water Industry. This may be one of the keys to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal n°6 - #SDG6.

Oh, and in short, about me: I'm a water engineer turned avid student of the water business, market, finance, and tech. I'm married, a happy father of three, and I'm French (nobody's perfect 😅).
