MTM Critical Metals announced successful Flash Joule Heating (FJH) tests achieving over 90% lithium conversion in spodumene calcination. This yield is considered commercially viable by industry leaders, exceeding the 75% threshold for commercial application. The FJH method reduced calcination time by over 80% compared to conventional kiln processing. FJH technology offers a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional calcination methods, potentially lowering energy consumption and CO2 emissions. MTM is actively pursuing commercial discussions with major industrial firms in the US and Australia. The company is planning a 1-ton per day commercial-scale facility targeting full-scale production within the next year.
