However, interestingly, some companies have developed methods of lithium brine extraction that are both quicker and gentler on the environment.Australian lithium miner Lake Resources (ASX: LKE) partnered with Lilac Solutions to create a method of direct lithium extraction (DLE) whereby the lithium filled brines are pumped from the ground and placed into tanks which contain special ion exchange beads that latch onto the lithium over a few hours. The lithium concentrate then remains in tanks while all the excess water and minerals are pumped back into the ground, leaving for minimal disturbance to the environment.The process also takes hours instead of traditional DLE methods of nine months to two years.
