The maturing of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies and the resilience of lithium brine projects in the current price environment are opening new opportunities for the water sector.
In the July issue of Chief Technology Officer, published by Global Water Intelligence (GWI) article, Manish Backliwal, Sr. Director of Mining and EV Metals, shares his thoughts on the impact of DLE) on process technology providers with GWI Research Director Charlie Walker.
He highlights that while DLE technologies offer an economical way to recover lithium, they must be integrated with a tailored and optimized downstream treatment process to reduce complexity and enhance overall performance. He emphasizes that working with technology companies with expertise in the entire lithium extraction process is beneficial. Companies that offer end-to-end process knowledge, like Aquatech, can optimize the whole brine stream effectively from eluate to the desired final product.
The article provides a comprehensive market analysis of the lithium market across various regions, covering developing projects and operations, emerging technologies, pricing, and key players. Overall, it serves as a detailed market map, offering valuable insights from Aquatech, along with other technology companies in the lithium industry.
