Abstract: This invention relates generally to a process for selective adsorption and recovery of lithium from natural and synthetic brines, and more particular to a process for recovering lithium from a natural or synthetic brine solution by passing the brine solution through a lithium selective adsorbent in a continuous countercurrent adsorption and desorption circuit.
Abstract: This invention generally relates to a process for manufacturing a lithium selective adsorption/separation media, and more particularly, to a process for manufacturing a lithium selective adsorbent/separation media using a recycled and augmented intercalation reaction liquor. The recycled and augmented intercalation reaction liquor is formed during intercalation and neutralization of the adsorbent manufacturing process.
