Capitalizing on Change: VPSA and PSA Oxygen Generation Technology Ascends Amidst Lithium Price Slumps
The fluctuation in lithium resource prices has a direct impact on the production and application of various lithium-related products. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) oxygen generation technology utilizes adsorbents to selectively adsorb gas components, with lithium-based adsorbent being a crucial role. The decrease in lithium prices directly reduces the raw material costs in the production process, thereby lowering the overall costs of VPSA and PSA oxygen generation equipment. The unit price of lithium carbonate has decreased from a peak of ¥600,000/t to the current ¥100,000/t, a decrease of over 80%. The total price of VPSA oxygen equipment can decrease by approximately ¥200,000 to ¥800,000 depending on different models.
