IonIQs B.V. is a Dutch deep-tech startup developing innovative technologies for lithium purification and recovery from mining (waste)water, enabling more efficient resource use and supporting a sustainable, circular energy transition.
IonIQs has developed a proprietary electro-membrane technology that selectively removes dissolved minerals from water, especially impurities like sodium in lithium-rich streams. This enables upgrading lithium to battery-grade quality.
Traditional mining and refining processes lose 30β70% of lithium, consume large amounts of water, and generate significant waste, which reduces efficiency and harms the environment and reduces profitability. IonIQsβ approach aims to recover much of this lost lithium, reduce waste and water usage, and lower the need for additional mining by improving overall lithium yield.
