Global Direct Lithium Extraction Technology Services Market 2023 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Direct Lithium Extraction Technology Services market size was valued at USD 54 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 782.2 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 46.6% during review period.

Lithium is a highly reactive alkali metal that offers excellent heat and electrical conductivity, which makes it ideal for several uses such as EV and energy storage, as mentioned above. However, because of its high reactivity, pure elemental lithium is not found in nature but is instead present as a constituent of salts or other compounds. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) is one of the latest trends to extract lithium. This technique consists of several chemical processes that allow for fast isolated lithium production into saleable forms of lithium. This can be done via three main methods:

1.Adsorption: using sorbents to physically adhere to the lithium for selective removal. After the sorbent is loaded with the lithium chloride, it’s washed with a diluted lithium chloride stream to remove unwanted ions, and then washed a second time to unload the lithium chloride. The latest sorbent being tested is a lithium aluminum layered double hydroxide chloride sorbent, or LDH. As described in a recent study published by Environmental Science & Technology, this method doesn't require an acid wash or other chemicals, which ultimately makes it more friendly.

2.Ion Exchange: These systems separate ionic contaminants from solution through a physicochemical process where undesirable ions are replaced by other ions of the same electrical charge. Lithium recovery by ion exchange can change with a simple adjustment in pH, temperature, or stream composition (and the same goes for other lithium extraction methods), but researchers also believe this method can recover roughly 90% of the lithium present.

3.Solvent extraction: this process involves capturing lithium either chemically or physically and transforming it into LiCl or Li* from brine.
