High yield lithium extraction

A competitive technology developed in-house

The brine passes through columns where lithium is captured by an aluminum-based lithium sorbent acting like a "sponge” developed by Eramet and IFPEN. It is covered by 12 patents.

Let’s talk efficient extraction

Direct Lithium Extraction achieves a 90% lithium recovery yield. It far surpasses the recovery rates typically achieved through traditional evaporation processes, which usually range from 40% to 50%.
