Direct Lithium Extraction
Today, the most predominate DLE technologies being pursued include column-based sorbents, solvent extraction, and membranes.
Although column-based sorbent solutions are seen as the most promising of these technologies, they suffer from many issues including brine channeling, contact efficiency, sorbent compaction, particle attrition, thermal limitations, scaling & fouling, pressure drop, tedious maintenance, and more.
Our Technology
Novel Approach
Differentiated from column-based sorbent systems, solvent extraction, and membranes
