Lithium Extraction from Geothermal and Oilfield Brines
Speaker: Dr John Bishop, Executive Chairman, Direct Lithium Pty Ltd
Abstract: Lithium occurs in viable concentrations in a variety of brines, including in some geothermal brines. High-grade, high-purity lithium salts can be efficiently and profitably extracted from these reservoirs using one or more of a suite of chemical and physical processes described as ‘Direct Lithium Extraction' or DLE.
