Lithium exists in two stable isotopes: Lithium-6 and Lithium-7. While naturally occurring Lithium contains only around 7.5% Lithium-6.
This isotope is essential for producing tritium — a critical fuel component required for fusion reactors.
6EX Technologies has developed a novel electrochemical enrichment technology that extracts Lithium-6 from lithium-containing solutions. Compared to legacy COLEX technology, the process is significantly cleaner, more scalable and enables substantially lower production costs.
