A constantly-growing need for electric-powered vehicles and sophisticated electronics operating on lithium-ion batteries has made lithium the «Energy Metal in the 21st Century». Continued growth of lithium-ion batteries at an annual compound rate can reach approximately 30 percent. That is why notable attention is being paid towards recapturing waste and converting it into a raw material, increasing the metal’s availability, reducing material use, and making lithium production less resource-intensive. Direct lithium extraction technologies have the needed potential to significantly increase the supply of lithium from water projects, including operations with enriched by lithium waste waters of oil and gas condensate fields.
