Lithium Battery Recycling Expansion Project Progresses with LANRAN Electrodialysis Technology
Supporting Lithium Resource Recovery from Spent LFP Batteries With the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the demand for lithium resources continues to increase. Meanwhile, efficient recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries has become an important pathway for resource conservation and sustainable battery supply chains. Located in Qujing, Yunnan Province, China, this lithium battery recycling expansion project focuses on the comprehensive utilization of spent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Through hydrometallurgical recycling processes, valuable lithium resources are recovered from battery materials and converted into reusable resources. Since 2020, LANRAN has participated in multiple phases of lithium concentration projects at this site, providing membrane separation solutions to support lithium recovery and resource utilization. LANRAN Electrodialysis System for Lithium Recovery For this expansion phase, LANRAN is supplying a two-stage electrodialysis system based on semi-homogeneous membrane technology. The system is designed to purify and concentrate lithium nitrate (LiNO₃) from cathode material leaching solutions, improving lithium recovery efficiency in the hydrometallurgical recycling process of spent LFP batteries. By applying advanced electrodialysis technology, the system helps optimize lithium solution treatment, reduce resource loss, and support the production of high-value lithium products from recycled battery materials. Project Installation Progress The electrodialysis equipment was shipped on July 18, 2026, and delivered to the project site starting July 21. Following equipment arrival, the LANRAN project team quickly coordinated installation activities and worked closely with on-site partners to advance equipment positioning, piping installation, and system integration. The project is currently progressing according to schedule, with commissioning preparation underway. Advancing Sustainable Battery Recycling Upon completion, the electrodialysis system will further enhance lithium resource recovery capabilities at the recycling facility, supporting more efficient utilization of valuable resources from spent lithium batteries. Through ion exchange membrane technology and industrial electrodialysis solutions, LANRAN continues to support global customers in developing cleaner and more sustainable resource recovery processes.
Electrodialysis Expansion Project Advances Lithium Recovery at Chalco Henan Branch
Lanran is advancing an electrodialysis expansion project for lithium recovery at Chalco Henan Branch, supporting more efficient lithium resource recovery from alumina production. Industrial Electrodialysis for Lithium Recovery The project is an industrial demonstration project focused on recovering lithium associated with bauxite processing. Lithium contained in alumina by-products is dissolved with nitric acid and then concentrated through Lanran’s electrodialysis system to produce lithium nitrate solution for the downstream evaporation process. A reverse osmosis system is integrated with the electrodialysis process to further recover lithium from the dilute stream, enabling an overall lithium recovery rate of more than 99% while supporting a more resource-efficient, closed-loop production process. Lanran’s original electrodialysis system entered commercial operation in 2024. Following its stable operation and proven economic performance, the customer decided to expand the project in July 2026. The expansion increases the plant’s lithium recovery capacity by approximately 20%, adding eight electrodialysis units with a treatment capacity of 10 m³/h to the existing 30-unit system, which processes 60 m³/h. Fast Project Execution To meet the customer’s project schedule, Lanran completed equipment manufacturing within just 15 days after receiving the expansion request in late June. The equipment was shipped on July 11. Before shipment, Lanran engineers had already arrived at the project site to coordinate installation conditions, verify equipment interfaces, and prepare for delivery. Manufacturing and site preparation progressed simultaneously, helping keep the project on schedule. On-Site Engineering Support Despite the summer heat, Lanran’s engineering team continues to provide on-site installation guidance and technical support while working closely with the customer throughout project implementation. The team is making every effort to complete installation and commissioning as scheduled, enabling the expanded lithium recovery system to begin operation as soon as possible. Supporting Sustainable Lithium Resource Recovery The project demonstrates how industrial electrodialysis can improve lithium resource utilization by concentrating lithium nitrate for downstream processing while working together with reverse osmosis to maximize lithium recovery. From rapid manufacturing to on-site engineering support, Lanran remains committed to delivering reliable electrodialysis solutions that help customers accelerate project implementation, improve resource efficiency, and support more sustainable industrial production.
Another L𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) Project Of LANRAN Successfully Commissioned
Lanran’s latest NF + BPED system has entered stable operation at a nano-scale electronic ceramic materials manufacturing facility in Chizhou, Anhui, China, supporting resource recovery from industrial wastewater and water reuse. The system delivers:✔️ Continuous production of approximately 2N hydrochloric acid (HCl) and 2N sodium hydroxide (NaOH)✔️ Reuse of the recovered acid and alkali in upstream washing processes✔️ Recycling of production wastewater back into the manufacturing process The first phase currently operates three BPED units, producing approximately 4.5 m³/h each of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. This project demonstrates how Nanofiltration (NF) and Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) can recover valuable chemicals from industrial wastewater while supporting water reuse in advanced materials manufacturing. Lanran continues to provide practical membrane separation solutions that help industrial manufacturers improve resource utilization and support more sustainable production.
