Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) is a cutting-edge technological process developed for the extraction of lithium from brine sources, such as subsurface reservoirs and salt flats.

Saltworks supports both of the above extraction processes with advanced water recovery and lithium refining technology systems. Our modular lithium refining systems offer a future-proof plant on a fast track to high lithium yield, low installation costs, and reduced energy consumption.

The Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) system from Evove is designed to impact environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals while improving the economics of producing lithium locally, even with highly challenging brines.

A new technology can extract lithium from brines at an estimated cost of under 40% that of today's dominant extraction method, and at just a fourth of lithium's current market price.

Extract lithium in fewer steps. Direct extraction of lithium from brines or acidic solutions avoids the need for many chemical reactions and consumes less raw material, water and energy.

Lilac has developed and patented a new high performance ion exchange (IX) technology to extract lithium from brines. Lilac's core innovation is in materials science. It has designed ceramic IX beads with high durability, which, for the first time, unlocks all the benefits of IX technology for lithium production.

Maximising your lithium production. Lithium forecasts indicate demand will more than triple over the next decade. With the newest technology, backed by years of experience in brine and spodumene extraction methods, we are a full solutions partner for major lithium processing operations.

Consequently, industries have been exploring rapid and sustainable lithium recovery methods from these sources. Similar to what shale did for oil industry, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) represents a promising approach poised to enhance lithium production efficiency.

Li-Pro™ Direct Lithium Extraction Technology KTS offers integrated engineering and equipment design to produce a concentrated lithium chloride ready for final conversion into a lithium carbonate or hydroxide.

Recent advancements in lithium extraction technology are addressing these demands by improving efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and unlocking new sources of this vital element. The growing demand for lithium, driven by its extensive applications, has prompted detailed market analyses.
