Abstract:Interest in lithium sources has been increasing because of wide applications of the metal in high-energy storage lithium batteries and its compounds in other fields. Lithium is found in sea and geothermal waters, lakes, brines and several minerals. Among several methods that have been suggested for the extraction of lithium from these resources such as adsorption (ion exchange), solvent extraction and co-precipitation, the adsorption method is more suitable for recovery of lithium from seawater because certain… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
