The project aims to develop technology enabling lithium to be cost-effectively extracted from brine. Today Australia meets the increasing demand for lithium by mining hardrock lithium, an environmentally damaging activity. An alternative is to source lithium from brine produced as industrial wastewater (in desalination or shale gas production). The main challenge that brine presents to selectively extracting lithium is competing ions. By advancing knowledge of nanomaterials and membrane distillation, the project expects to overcome both this technical challenge and other practical challenges. From wastewater, the anticipated system will produce additional clean water and a valuable commodity that can offset the cost of water treatment.

该项目旨在开发技术，使锂能够从盐水中经济高效地提取。今天，澳大利亚通过开采硬岩锂来满足日益增长的锂需求，这是一种破坏环境的活动。另一种方法是从作为工业废水产生的盐水中获取锂（在脱盐或页岩气生产中）。卤水对选择性提取锂提出的主要挑战是竞争离子。通过推进纳米材料和膜蒸馏的知识，该项目有望克服这一技术挑战和其他实际挑战。从废水中，预期的系统将产生额外的清洁水和一种有价值的商品，可以抵消水处理的成本。
