Is this just the precipitation method? The one that's used by like 70% of all manufacturers? And they want to use waste olivines with 10% yield?
They're about to get an expensive lesson in throughout economics.
Also, are they trying to get HCl from salt solution via electrolysis? I didn't know that was possible. Sodium is some 3 volts, you'd dry up all the water before getting to sodium. I'm probably missing something here.
To be honest with you, I do not know.
