Lithium dewatering and recovery are optimized by Flottweg’s German-engineered Centrifuges. Our technology ensures efficient spodumene beneficiation, significant water recovery, and increased safety. Enjoy the benefits of continuous recovery, recycling of captured process water, and solutions for tackling geographic constraints, all within a compact design that requires minimal infrastructure. Discover how Flottweg is leading the way in sustainable lithium processing.
Lithium has been intentionally mined since the 1950s, and now, the global market is searching for better processing methods/technology.
Production of lithium has become increasingly vital with the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries used in various applications, including electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. However, the process of extracting lithium faces several challenges that impact efficiency and profitability. Flottweg’s expertise is expanded into the lithium market, with solutions for top challenges in the lithium processing arena.
In the hard-rock mining of spodumene, or other lithium-bearing ores, the decanter centrifuge is employed at two stages during post-communition/beneficiation. The first stage provides dewatering of slurried tailings, providing significant water recovery, along with a spadeable solid. The second stage is found in the value stream of further concentration of lithium-bearing slurry, to produce a lithium/spodumene concentrate for additional refinement, while providing additional water recovery for re-utilization.
Flottweg centrifuges play a key role in separating process water from slurry, enabling recycling and reuse. A key advantage is the continuous recovery that the centrifuge creates, as opposed to alternative technology. This contributes to sustainable water management while reducing the environmental impact.
Flottweg centrifuges require minimal infrastructure for installation, offering practical advantages for lithium producers. With their compact design, Flottweg centrifuges are easily installed in confined spaces, making them suitable for operations with limited space availability. This design permits additional maneuverability of the unit, to ensure the perfect placement for your process flow.
Flottweg lithium centrifuges separate fine tailings from the slurry, contributing to safer and more stable tailings storage facilities, while also extending the life of the site’s TSF or ponds, delaying costly construction and investment.
Flottweg decanter technology accomplishes two crucial stages in lithium-bearing clay processing. Handling a lithium-bearing clay slurry, decanter centrifuges create a further refined, lithium clay concentrate. This step also produces additional water recovery via the centrate output. In refinement steps, the Flottweg centrifuge will handle enriched leachates, post-crystallization.

Flottweg decanter technology engages in a multitude of stages in the refining of producing technical and battery-grade Lithium. The Flottweg centrifuge will process lithium carbonate slurry, sodium sulfate slurry and lithium hydroxide slurry, producing dewatered salts, and thickened value material for additional handling, while capturing process water for re-utilization, promoting water stewardship.
Designed to exacting specifications to ensure the highest purity of separated phases at required cutoff points ensures consistency of quality for additional downstream refining and handling.

Flottweg Tricanter® technology separates three-phases from a single feed. In the lithium-bearing brine space, this technology is utilized to concentrate the brine, by separating two liquids from a feed of varying densities. A light phase and a heavy phase are produced, permitting further refinement into the final value material. If required for your process, Flottweg can program an output of an additional solid phase from your feed, creating three-phases of output from a single feed.
During the lithium brine concentration process, recovering valuable liquid, known as a pregnant liquor, is crucial for increasing overall yield and minimizing waste. Flottweg’s Tricanter® offers the potential for a highly efficient extraction process, ensuring high purity of the separated phases.

Flottweg's commitment to environmental sustainability extends to energy efficiency. Flottweg centrifuge systems are engineered for optimized power consumption, reducing the carbon footprint of the extraction process.
Flottweg lithium centrifuges are designed for user-friendly operation and require minimal downtime, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted production.
Flottweg decanter centrifuges are engineered and manufactured in Germany, ensuring exceptional quality, reliability, and adherence to international standards.
The high forces at work in the centrifuge result in wear on the machine. The wear protection in Flottweg decanter centrifuges reduces wear, and the parts affected can be replaced and renewed. Flottweg centrifuges are engineered to withstand the rigors of any environment.
