Extract from above article which I find important to us.

As Dr. Andy Robinson, president and COO of Standard Lithium noted, “We’ve been successfully operating our first-of-its-kind industrial scale DLE plant in Arkansas, and we’ve been continuously making lithium chloride product for months…This is a very exciting time for us because we’re approaching the point where we can demonstrate the continuous extraction of lithium from Smackover brine and conversion into battery-quality material.”If successful, STLHF’s scalable, environmentally friendly process eliminates the use of evaporation ponds like those in Chile and Argentina which, according to the company’s statements, “reduces processing time from months to hours and greatly increases the effective recovery of lithium.”
