Lithium is often called “white gold” – and for good reason. As electrification accelerates (electric mobility, stationary storage, grid applications), demand is rising – and so is the need to recover lithium sustainably from complex aqueous resources such as brines, process waters, and industrial streams. Electrochemical lithium-ion extraction is a particularly promising route because it […]
