Lilac Solutions' ion-exchange technology recovers lithium from brine resources through a modular, closed-loop direct lithium extraction process.
Lilac Direct Lithium Extraction uses custom ion-exchange materials and engineered systems to recover lithium from high-grade, low-grade, and complex brines, including salt-flat, geothermal, oilfield, and surface-lake resources.
The closed-loop process is designed to limit surface disruption and freshwater demand while producing battery-grade lithium. Lilac provides technology and services from laboratory trials through pilot, demonstration, and commercial-scale deployments.
