Lithium Mining

Solutions Designed by Lithium, Water Treatment and Resin Experts

The world needs lithium for electrification. As resource constraints intensify, meeting the global demand for lithium will require novel approaches—including advancing techniques in hard-rock mining and achieving direct lithium extraction at scale.

Ecolab lithium extraction experts work closely with you to understand your processes and needs. We deliver solutions designed to maximize lithium recovery through optimized mineral processing.

Leading the Way in Direct Lithium Extraction Solutions

The path to scalable DLE is evolving, and Ecolab can guide the way.

Ecolab experts offer in-depth experience in testing and treating brines from around the world, advanced lithium resin production capabilities and unmatched expertise with end-to-end process challenges.

Our services span the DLE project lifecycle including process modeling, product and equipment selection, resin and water treatment solutions, and digital optimization with unique monitoring and modeling capabilities.

Hard Rock Spodumene and Lithium Processing

End-to-End Mineral Processing Solutions for Maximizing Recovery and Selectivity

In hard rock lithium extraction, what you avoid can be as important as what you're trying to achieve. Choosing a partner with effective chemistry—and the expertise to go with it—can help you maximize recovery, grade and throughput.

  • We provide end-to-end mineral processing and water treatment solutions.
  • Our lithium flotation reagents—including collectors and frothers—are specially formulated for better selectivity against gangue minerals to achieve a high grade of lithium concentrate.
  • We also design downstream lithium processing solutions that can help with solid/liquid separation, impurity removal, filtration and water treatment.

The World Needs Lithium

The global demand for lithium is expected to quadruple over the next 10 years. To meet this demand, we are helping advance current and new technologies. Learn more about current innovations and how Ecolab is helping usher in a new era of lithium production.
