The NANOGOM Project
The NANOGOM Democase is breaking new ground in water desalination and lithium recovery with cutting-edge filtration technologies. Using a hybrid NF-RO filtration system, the project improves mineral content in desalinated brackish water and pioneers cost-effective methods for recovering lithium from spent batteries. Key innovations include modifying hollow fiber membranes with carbon-based materials like graphene oxides and carbon nanotubes, enhancing rejection rates for magnesium (Mg2+) and lithium (Li+). Process modeling shows the scalability and competitiveness of this approach compared to current technologies. With promising results in ion rejection, NANOGOM is paving the way for sustainable and economically viable solutions with significant industrial impact.
