Engineering & Research

Moselle’s ongoing research efforts have been focused on the development and optimization of the N-DLE nanoparticle related to the extraction and concentration of Lithium from aqueous solutions, including geothermal brines.

Moselle anticipates sponsoring research to develop N-DLE nanoparticles capable of targeting additional commercially valuable minerals found in aqueous solutions.  While the current focus has been Lithium and other higher value minerals, Moselle believes significant opportunities exist to develop nanoparticles that target environmentally harmful products that are found in mining operations, oil/gas production, tailing ponds, hazardous or contaminated sites where the targeted N-DLE nanoparticle could be useful in a remediation effort.

Moselle provides engineering and consulting services for designing N-DLE nanoparticles to target specific minerals or compounds based on requests and feedback from industry leaders and participants.  In addition, Moselle can help customers modify process flow to incorporate Moselle’s N-DLE nanoparticle into the customer’s existing process flow.

Moselle has several patent applications filed and in various stages of approval in numerous jurisdictions.  Moselle is the exclusive licensee of the work completed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.  In addition, Moselle is sponsoring active and related nanoparticle research with Texas A&M University and will be the exclusive licensee of all patented research from that effort.

Once the targeting N-DLE nanoparticle is optimized, Moselle would work with its research partner and an appropriate industry partner and/or vendor to complete the steps necessary to construct and build the nanoparticle in sufficient quantities that the customer may utilize the nanoparticle to their intended purpose and include in their process flow.
