Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

An IBAT Modular Direct Lithium Extraction Plant is a mobile, skid-mounted facility that extracts lithium directly from brine using selective sorption media, avoiding the evaporation ponds used in conventional lithium production. Its modular design lets units be assembled off-site and installed at a brine source, recovering the bulk of process water and generating no salt waste byproducts.
