ILiA is delighted to share with you a new report exploring the various technologies used for direct lithium extraction (DLE).
The report is made possible by support from Rockwell Automation and can be downloaded at https://lithium.org/dle-101.
To mark its publication we will hold a public webinar with the author on July 18th (see details below).
This report explores the various DLE methods, including sorption, ion exchange, solvent extraction, membrane, electrochemical, carbonation processes and more. Each method’s mechanisms, advantages, disadvantages, and technological readiness are analysed, along with a comparison of their commercial potential.
This work also examines the economic viability of DLE compared to conventional extraction methods. Additionally, the potential sustainability benefits of DLE, such as lower carbon, water, and land footprints, are discussed.
