Australia: World-1st tech achieves 90% lithium recovery from deserts
A new nanofiltration based approach developed by Australian researchers extracts lithium faster and in a more environment-friendly way.
Researchers Zikhao Li at Monash and Xiwang Zhang at the University of Queensland have developed the EDTA-aided loose nanofiltration (EALNF) approach, which could help solve the problem. “Our technology achieves 90 percent lithium recovery, nearly double the performance of traditional methods, while dramatically reducing the time required for extraction from years to mere weeks,” added Li. “With Monash University’s EALNF technology, these (high altitude salt brine flats) can now be commercially viable sources of lithium and valuable contributors to the global supply chain,” added Li in the press release.
