Abstract
This mini review provides an overview of the various methods used to extract lithium from brine deposits, emphasizing the significance of lithium as a critical component in batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. The methods range from traditional solar evaporation to advanced techniques like direct lithium extraction (DLE), with each method tailored to specific geological and economic considerations. The introduction highlights the economic feasibility and environmental responsibility associated with lithium extraction from brines. It sets the stage for further exploration of these extraction methods, their principles, mechanisms, and challenges, providing valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and stakeholders in the field of lithium production.
