In this presentation, the speaker discusses the research that has been carried out at NETL regarding direct lithium extraction. The three main discussing points are as follows: developing high-capacity lithium-ion sieve sorbent using mineral streams associated with critical minerals; demonstrating the sorbent ability to recover lithium from oil/gas produced waters and geothermal brines; and assessing the feasibility of large-scale implementation through technoeconomic analysis.
