“…Therefore, it is essential to develop a low-energy, low-cost, and pollution-free approach for brine enrichment. Recently, several major methods have been used to extract lithium from brine in salt lakes, including solvent extraction, − specific identification of adsorption and desorption, − and membrane techniques. ,,, However, solvent extraction requires energy to sustain mechanical vibrations to achieve phase-to-phase contact, , and the acid used in the desorption process is likely to increase costs and pollute the environment . Similarly, although membrane technologies have been applied in the treatment of saline wastewater , and studies have shown that reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) possess certain concentration effects, ,, pressure- or electricity-driven methods of separation or concentration inevitably require large amounts of energy.…”
