Whitepaper: Recycling Brine for a Greener Future

Despite double-digit annual supply growth, Benchmark Minerals Intelligence​’s base case analysis projects the lithium market to be 180k tonnes short of global demand by 2030. We’ve seen an influx of Direct Lithium Extraction technologies deployed in response to the demand. A significant challenge lithium producers face is recycling lithium-depleted brine and reinjecting brine back into salars to help minimize environmental and social impacts in water-scarce areas.

Summit Nanotech and Zelandez, a brinefield services company, have combined their expertise to explore best practices in recycling and reinjecting salar brines. The whitepaper shares the efficiency of lithium production using DLE and how to work with sensitive hydrogeology and geochemistry. Download the whitepaper.
