Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Lithios Advanced Lithium Extraction is a direct lithium extraction process that pulls lithium ions out of brine using a proprietary sorption or membrane-based technique, rather than relying on multi-month evaporation ponds. By selectively capturing lithium and returning the remaining brine to its source, the process is designed to produce a purified lithium concentrate with a smaller physical and water footprint than conventional evaporative brine processing.
