Abstract: A method of extracting lithium from a lithium bearing solution and specifically, economically extracting lithium from a lithium bearing solution comprising the steps of: adding a nucleus particle to a lithium bearing solution; and precipitating the dissolved lithium in the lithium bearing solution as lithium phosphate by adding a phosphorous supplying material to the lithium bearing solution including the nucleus particle is provided.

Abstract: A flexible membrane for a polishing head includes a main part having a first surface configured to make contact with a surface of a substrate and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a plurality of extensions extending substantially perpendicularly from the second surface of the main part so as to define a plurality of independent spaces, respectively, and an inner ring coupled with an inner side of an outermost extension of the extensions to support an edge portion of the main part. A bottom surface of the inner ring is substantially flat.
