Adionicsa pioneering French company in sustainable technology Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)opened its new demonstration plant in the Güemes industrial park, located in the province of Salta.
The new plant is dedicated to testing different brines from Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, taking a step forward for the sustainable energy transition in Argentina.
This is the third demonstration plant built by Adionics. The selected brines will be analyzed and tested to obtain the information necessary to maximize the efficiency of industrialization.

“Now we will be able to accelerate our development and collect information to launch the basic engineering work of our plants”he stated Gabriel ToffaniCEO of Adionics, who added that “This project allows us to contribute to local employment and the local economy.”
For his part, Governor Sáenz maintained that “the installation of this important French company consolidates the industrial development that we seek for Salta,” and highlighted that “a company like Adionics has chosen Salta to establish itself, strengthening the lithium industry, in line with the vision that our provincial government has of positioning itself as a central player in the mining production of our country and the entire region.”
Sáenz highlighted the innovative extraction technology used by this company that respects the environment and care for natural resources. “This demonstration plant that has been installed, with these innovative lithium extraction technologies without traditional reagents, also shows our environmentally friendly position that we value and promote so much,” he stated.
The French ambassador celebrated that it is “not only the opening of a new stage in the extraction of lithium, but also a significant advance in more sustainable and environmentally friendly development in the mining industry.”
Nadal congratulated Adionics “for its vision and effort” and highlighted “cooperation between the countries of Argentina and France in building a more sustainable future, ensuring economic development and environmental protection.”

This company’s innovative technology stands out as a leader in sustainable mineral recovery practices. Its technology minimizes water use and energy consumption and eliminates the need for chemical reagents, dramatically reducing the environmental impact of lithium extraction.
According to experts, this firm is at the forefront of advances in lithium extraction, offering a revolutionary approach that meets the needs of today’s mining professionals.
The company specializes in a closed-loop liquid-liquid extraction process that efficiently and sustainably recovers lithium salts from various brinesincluding continental, geothermal or produced waters.
What differentiates this technology is the use of flionex, a highly customized fluid that acts as a key to open and extract lithium without the need for traditional reagents.
This patented process not only achieves high lithium recovery rates, but does so with minimal water use and minimal environmental impact, marking a new era in resource recovery.
