Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Standard Lithium's El Dorado DLE Demonstration Plant applies direct lithium extraction chemistry, which selectively binds lithium ions from brine using engineered sorbent or ion-exchange media and then releases them into a concentrated solution, to process brine drawn from a bromine production site rather than relying on traditional evaporation ponds.
