New technology achieves 95% lithium recovery using organic solvents
Lithium is essential to the modern world, but its extraction has always carried a heavy environmental toll. A research team from Monash University has patented a new technology that extracts lithium from solid salt mixtures rather than liquid brines. This method provides a faster, highly efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to standard lithium extraction. The process works by shifting the focus from liquid brine to a dried, solid salt crust. …
Low-water lithium extraction method achieves 95% recovery efficiency from brine salts
Engineers have developed a new technology that enables the direct extraction of lithium from solid salt mixtures derived from brines, offering a low-water, low-energy alternative to conventional lithium extraction methods.
A team of researchers from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Monash University (Australia) has registered a patent for a breakthrough technology for selective lithium extraction. The uniqueness of the proposed method lies in its ability to extract up to 95% of the target metal not from traditional liquid brines, but directly from crystallized salt deposits. Image generated by Grok Lithium is a critical resource for the ele…
Monash develops water-saving lithium method
Image: Björn Wylezich/stock.adobe.com Monash University researchers say they have created a low-water, low-energy process for extracting lithium from salt mixtures, with recovery rates of about 95 per cent. Engineers at Monash University have developed a new lithium extraction technology that could significantly reduce freshwater use and energy demand in critical minerals processing. The process separates lithium from solid salt mixtures deriv…
