Solvent extraction supports the migration of lithium ions from brine into an organic liquid phase that contains a specific extractant. This extractant forms compounds with lithium, facilitating the ...

QUA, an Aquatech company, introduced EDR-Q, a next-generation electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology engineered for high-recovery desalination, water reuse, and specialty process applications. The ...

Researchers developed a new membrane that selectively filters out lithium from brines, offering a faster, cleaner way to produce the element at the heart of nearly every rechargeable battery. The ...

Chicago is set to break ground on a pipeline that will bring water from the Great Lakes to some suburbs whose groundwater is running dry. Joliet, Illinois, is one of those suburbs. Here & Now's Chris ...

A team of researchers from Rice University's Elimelech lab has developed a new lithium extraction technique that could transform the industry. The technique addresses the increasing demand for lithium ...

Projects to pull CO 2 out of air, known as direct air capture (DAC), are starting to take off around the world. But they typically require large fans that send air over expensive sorbents. “The ocean ...

El Paso, TEXAS (KVIA) -- A University of El Paso undergraduate student developed a new technique that converts 90% of salt, or brine, water to fresh water. Tayia Oddonetto was inspired by her ...

It’s easy to use electricity — solar-generated or otherwise — to desalinate water. However, traditional systems require a steady source of power. Since solar panels don’t always produce electricity, ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

MIT researchers claim to have created a revolutionary solar-powered desalination system powered directly from sunlight without any auxiliary external power or batteries. The invention has 'adapted to ...
