This is entirely a paper study. The scope of this Cooperative Research and development (CRADA) is to: 1) systematically review existing potential lithium enrichment processes, 2) evaluate the individual process, 3) determine the economic feasibility, 4) rank the processes as a function of economic feasibility, technical probability, Health, Safety and environmental impacts, 5) identify best candidate technology for proof of principle evaluation, 6) develop outside funding proposals, and 7) pursue funding to perform proof of principle/ prototyping of candidate technology.
