The Lithios Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) Pack is brine-agnostic and engineered for rapid deployment with minimal customization, offering efficient lithium recovery at lower cost and resource use than competing methods.

The Lithios Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) Pack is designed for rapid deployment with minimal customization, offering efficient lithium recovery at lower cost and resource use than competing methods.

Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) uses electrochemistry to selectively capture lithium from brine without chemicals, leaving other contaminants behind.

Lithios, a pioneer in domestic lithium extraction systems, has begun field operations of its electrochemical Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) technology to unlock lithium from low-grade brine deposits.

Lithios completed over 1,000 hours of continuous operation of its pilot system, demonstrating the robustness and scalability of its patented Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) technology.

Lithios opened a new Pilot and Manufacturing Facility in Medford, Massachusetts, to develop and scale pilot systems for lithium extraction.

Lithios is developing Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE), an electrochemical method to enable lithium production from previously untapped brine resources.

Advanced Lithium Extraction (ALE) converts previously inaccessible brine resources into lithium supply to meet growing demand.
