At the Salar de Atacama Plant, the concentrations of the most relevant chemical compounds for the production of brine are controlled, as well as the process and quality of potassium chloride production.
At the La Negra Chemical Plant, all stages of the lithium carbonate and chloride manufacturing process are controlled. In addition, each product is analysed, certifying the required quality and giving the go-ahead for dispatch.
The analyses are carried out using instrumental techniques such as: atomic emission spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, ion chromatography and laser diffraction, among others.
Our high analytical reliability is validated every year through joint studies conducted with Albemarle laboratories in Germany and the United States.
