Amalgamated Research LLC (ARi), based in Twin Falls, Idaho, is a supplier of chromatography, adsorption, and ion exchange technology and equipment specializing in commercializing separation processes at large industrial scale.
Amalgamated Research LLC (ARi), based in Twin Falls, Idaho, brings more than 40 years of large-scale industrial adsorption and ion exchange experience to the direct lithium extraction (DLE) industry. ARi's patented fluid distribution and mixing technology is designed to de-risk DLE scale-up, enabling separation processes to be reliably scaled from pilot plant data to industrial vessels exceeding 20 feet in diameter without degradation in equipment performance. The company provides a full spectrum of customer support from proof of concept through to industrial-scale installation, with comprehensive analytical services and pilot equipment available on-site.
ARi collaborated with Century Lithium Corp. on process improvements at the Angel Island Lithium Extraction Facility in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, demonstrating adsorption-based DLE on lithium-bearing claystone, a process flow relevant to the development of large US sedimentary lithium deposits. ARi joins Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials in Las Vegas in June 2026 as a sponsor, contributing more than four decades of ion exchange expertise to discussions on scaling DLE to commercial production.
