Lithium developer CleanTech Lithium has successfully delivered its first batch of lithium produced using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology. This marks a significant milestone for the company, which announced on Monday the completion of the first stage of production at its DLE pilot plant in Chile. The initial production yielded 88 cubic meters of concentrated eluate, equivalent to approximately one metric tonne of lithium carbonate. The material is now en route to the United States for conversion into battery-grade lithium carbonate.
DLE technology is praised for its environmentally friendly approach to lithium extraction, aligning with global and local priorities for sustainable resource management. Chile, a leading producer of high-quality lithium from brines, processes nearly a third of the world's lithium. The country is increasingly focusing on ecological sustainability and greater state involvement in resource management, with DLE technology presenting new opportunities for the lithium industry.
