Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes an improved way to produce high-strength pure cryolites without harmful impurities like chromic oxide or boron. By combining these materials into different forms during manufacturing, they become more valuable compared to traditional methods used alone due to their unique properties. These compositions have potential applications in various industries including batteries, electronics, lightweight structural components, medical devices, etc., making them highly useful tools for sustainable use.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discusses different methods used during manufacturing processes involving producing various types of metals such as magnesium (Mg). These techniques involve extracting excess metal values like calcium through ion exchange reactions, but these can cause issues related to decreased productivity, increased operating expenses, reduced quality of products made therefrom, difficulty in controlling the levels of residue components in the battery systems, and potential negative impacts upon economic performance and sustainability.
