RO Systems for Direct Lithium Extraction - Water Purification | Parker US
Increasing the Efficiency of Lithium Production

Direct lithium extraction (DLE) is a method of extracting lithium from brine sources. Parker Engineer’s have developed advanced technology to reduce the environmental impact of lithium mining and increase the efficiency of lithium production. This is critical for supporting the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.

Seven Benefits of DLE Processing

Parker Image

Speed

Traditional solar evaporation methods can take up to 18 months to extract lithium, whereas DLE can extract lithium in a matter of hours. This allows for faster production cycles and more efficient use of resources.

Environmental Impact

DLE is generally less harmful to the environment than solar evaporation. Traditional evaporation ponds require large amounts of water and land, which can disrupt local ecosystems. DLE uses less water and land, reducing its environmental impact.

Parker Image

Recovery Rates

DLE can potentially achieve higher lithium recovery rates than solar evaporation. Traditional evaporation methods may only recover 50% of the lithium in the brine, whereas DLE methods can potentially recover up to 90%.

Flexibility

DLE technologies can be adjusted to respond to changes in market demand much more quickly than solar evaporation ponds, which take a long time to set up and cannot be easily adjusted.

Parker Image

Reduced Waste

DLE processes are capable of returning the brine to its source with minimal changes to its composition, reducing waste and potential harm to the environment.

Operational in Various Conditions

Unlike solar evaporation, which relies heavily on specific climatic conditions (strong sunlight, low rainfall), DLE can operate under a wider range of climatic conditions and locations.

Mobility

The LithPRO DLE System design is easily transportable to direct lithium extraction sites and inlcudes automated technology allowing it to be controlled from anywhere in the world.
