Lithos Intends To Become A World Leader In The Production Of Lithium Metal.


MONTREAL, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 1996--(ME: LTS LTS 1 Latent tetany syndrome, see there 2. Low-threshold spike–neurology ) The management of Corporation Lithos Lithos is a glyphic sans-serif typeface designed by Carol Twombly in 1989 for Adobe Systems. Lithos resembles the unadorned, geometric letterforms of the engravings found on Ancient Greek public buildings.  is pleased to announce it has concluded an agreement with SIGMA TAU Technologies and with STAS STAS Short Term Analysis Services
STAS Safe To Arm Signal
STAS Short-Term Advertising Strength (Denmark)
STAS Standard de Stat (State Standard; Romania)

 for the development of an exclusive process for the production of lithium metal. The main objective of the research project is to develop a process allowing low costs production of lithium metal from lithium carbonate lithium carbonate

 and lithium chloride.

Because it is highly reactive electrochemically and it has the lightest atomic weight atomic weight, mean (weighted average) of the masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a chemical element, as contrasted with atomic mass, which is the mass of any individual isotope.  of all the elements after hydrogen and helium, lithium is used to manufacture several products. Currently, LITHOS controls 100 percent of lithium-based deposits in Quebec. The demand for this strategic metal, considered by specialists as the metal of the future, should grow rapidly since it is used in fields such as batteries and aerospace. For example, the mass production of electric cars announced by General Motors last week, will use a large number of batteries which weight will be of great importance.

To achieve this ambitious project, LITHOS has entered into a partnership with Dr. Olivo Sivilotti, a researcher of international reputation, who has worked for many years for Alcan and has developed and patented processes for the electrolysis electrolysis (ĭlĕktrŏl`əsĭs), passage of an electric current through a conducting solution or molten salt that is decomposed in the process.  of magnesium. These processes are now used by the titanium and the magnesium industries all over the world. Mr. Olivo Sivilotti, president of SIGMA TAU, will head a team of university and industry researchers. The management of operations has been assigned to STAS, an industry leader in the development, production and operation of advanced technologies for metallurgy.

This project should allow LITHOS, taking into account its lithium deposits and the electrolysis technology it has developed, to become a world leader in the production of lithium metal. The production of lithium metal requires large quantities of electricity and Quebec, with the cheapest electricity in North America, is a privileged location for this project.
