Start with the feed.
Understand composition, variability and the conditions that influence separation. Define the application before defining the solution.
SELECTIVE SEPARATIONS · LITHIUM FIRST
A clearer path
to lithium
recovery.
Complex water calls for a considered approach. Aqueon Technologies is developing selective-separation approaches for complex aqueous feeds—starting with lithium.

Illustrative chemistry, not a process schematic.
01 / OUR APPROACH
Good chemistry is
only the beginning.
A promising material must work as part of a complete process. Our development approach connects feed chemistry, selective recovery and practical operating requirements.
Measure the complete cycle.
Evaluate useful lithium recovery alongside purity, regeneration, durability and the resources a process consumes.
Design for integration.
Consider how a future module would fit a host’s treatment system, product pathway and residual-management requirements.
02 / INITIAL FOCUS
Lithium first.
Application by application.
Our initial focus is on selected lithium-bearing aqueous streams. Feed compatibility and process value must be established through testing—not assumed from a resource category.
RESOURCE STREAMS
Selected brines
Investigating where lithium-bearing natural and produced-water streams may offer a practical fit for selective recovery.
Potential application · requires qualificationINDUSTRIAL STREAMS
Controlled process liquors
Evaluating bounded separation problems in lithium-bearing refinery, recycling and mineral-processing liquids.
Potential application · requires qualification03 / AQUEON TECHNOLOGIES
Connecting separation science with industrial reality.
Aqueon brings together scientific and industrial perspectives around a focused question: how can selective recovery become a practical part of a customer’s process?
Our intended path is technology development, partner-led validation and, where supported by evidence, licensed process technology and modular deployment.

04 / WORKING TOGETHER
A useful next step
starts with the
right question.
Find the conversation that fits your role.
Does your stream present
a separation opportunity?
A useful initial discussion would explore feed composition, variability, present treatment and the operating problem you want to solve.
- Feed and process context
- Potential value and integration constraints
- A possible qualification pathway
Could our development
interests align?
Potential conversations include analytical testing, materials evaluation, process engineering and host-supported development.
- Complementary technical expertise
- Clear scope and evidence requirements
- Defined roles before a test program
Understand the thesis.
Examine the proof plan.
The investment conversation should connect the technical hypothesis to a bounded application, a credible validation program and the evidence needed for the next stage.
- Initial application and customer problem
- Development milestones and key uncertainties
- Capital tied to evidence creation
