NATSORB Li as Lithium ion purification technologies for batteries

NATSORB is a separation technology (liquid/liquid or solid/liquid) using supports which are low-cost environmentally benign materials. NATSORB supports that can be produced in a large scale to extract lithium from brine resources and could drive the lithium market toward a clean technology with high lithium recovery and production.

NATSORB Li is an effective multifunctional sorbent for sieving lithium from lithium-rich aqueous solutions as well as for desalinating brine resources to recover usable water. Thus, this sorbent offers the possibility of effective application of lithium reclamation and remediation of brine, mitigating the environmental impact of brine discharge and large volume of freshwater usage for lithium extraction and refining.
