Zinnwald Lithium Plc is a European lithium producer located in Germany’s historic Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region. The company focuses on producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide for the European battery and electric vehicle manufacturing sectors. As the second-largest hard-rock lithium project in the European Union, Zinnwald Lithium benefits from excellent infrastructure and proximity to major automotive and chemical industries. The company’s operations are built on sustainable practices and environmental responsibility, supported by a team of international experts with extensive experience in mining and chemical industries.
Battery Technology
Zinnwald Lithium’s primary product is battery-grade lithium hydroxide (LiOH), essential for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries. The production process involves underground mining combined with on-site mineral and chemical processing. Each electric vehicle requires approximately 15 kilograms of LiOH, making this material crucial for the growing EV market.
The company’s processing methods are designed for minimal environmental impact, featuring limited water usage and reduced energy requirements compared to traditional spodumene-based lithium production. The project aims for zero waste through efficient resource utilization and the production of valuable by-products, including:
- Sulfate of Potash (SOP) fertilizer for agricultural applications
- Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) for paper manufacturing
- Quartz sand for construction purposes
Technical partnerships with industry leaders such as AMG, Metso, Epiroc, and K-UTEC ensure the implementation of advanced processing technologies and optimal production methods.
