Over the last decades, lithium has become the «Energy Metal of the 21st Century» due to the rapidly increasing demand for this resource, driven by the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and advanced electronics that rely on lithium-ion batteries. By 2030, the demand for lithium is projected to be twice the amount of currently confirmed supply. That is why exploring additional lithium sources is essential. This research aims to extract lithium using membrane technology as the extractor module. This innovative approach will allow oil-producing companies to generate additional revenue by recovering high-purity lithium from the associated wastewaters produced in oil and gas condensate fields.
