<![CDATA[SQM Ideation Research Project Meeting]]>
SQM is interested in funding research at Georgia Tech. They would like to hear your ideas on Thursday, September 27 at 8:30AM-1PM (including lunch) at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center, Suite 324. Please click here to rsvp. Seats are limited.
In addition to the previously supplied information described broadly in “Exhibit A” (attached). SQM are particularly interested in funding research in the following specific areas to create new markets for their extensive mineral holdings. If you know someone that this may apply to, please forward the email to them. If it applies to you, please contact Jud Ready directly.
1) Perovskite Solar Cells that use Iodine
- Example Compounds : Formamidinium Iodide, Methylammonium Iodide, Lead(II) Iodide
2) Hypervalent Iodine Catalysts
- These compounds are used in oxidations and other reactions in pharmaceutical and reagent synthesis.
- Example Compounds : Iodobenzene Diacetate, Dess-Martin Periodinane, Diphenyliodonium Chloride
3) Semiconductor Applications – Etching, Vapor Deposition
- Iodine derivatives have seen significant interest in their ability to modify silicon and other semiconductor surfaces.
- Example Compounds : Diiodosilane, Iodosilanes, Trifluoroiodomethane
4) Dielectric Media
- This is the substitution of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) in switchgear components for environmentally preferable variants.
- Example Compound : Trifluoroiodomethane
5) Misc. Iodine Uses
- Gold Leaching with I-/I2 solutions (Electronic Waste Recovery & Mining)
- Iodides in Battery Manufacture
6) NO3 and its role in the leaching of copper sulphides
- Apparently could work as an oxidant for Fe+2
- Would like to better understand the challenges and likelihood for its industrialization
- NDA forbids us for disclosing much more and we should just refer them to the patents
7) Tradeoff for Coal Power Plants that require halogens for mercury remediation switching between Bromine or Iodine compounds
- For marketing interests in Europe/China
8) The production of Li2SO4 salts from our brine
- And the production of Li2S out of that salts
- Plus the potential battery uses for that Li2S (cathodes + solid state electrolyte material precursors)
9) The production of lithium metal out of Li2CO3 or LiCl brines, different available technologies, cost effectiveness
AGENDA
8:30 AM-9:00AM Continental breakfast
9:00 AM-10:00 AM SQM (problem statement & past work)
10:00 AM-11:00 AM GT (past work & future efforts)
11:00 AM-12:00 AM Roundtable discussions & future program scoping
12:00 PM- 1:00 PM Complimentary lunch
