Exclusive Forum for Producing More Lithium with a Smaller Environmental Footprint.

Welcome to the Direct Lithium Extraction 2023 Exhibition & Conference, the leading trade show for showcasing cutting-edge innovations in lithium extraction technologies. This event brings together industry experts from the oil & gas, electric vehicles, and geothermal energy sectors, providing a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate with leaders at the forefront of extracting lithium from brine resources.

As the global lithium industry uses conventional processes, it faces challenges from soil degradation, water shortages, and global warming. These challenges intensify, driven by the growing demand for lithium batteries, prompting the industry to seek more sustainable lithium production.

Next-gen lithium extraction processes offer solutions to the current challenges, reducing production timelines, water and reagent usage, and decreasing reliance on mining sites and evaporation ponds. These advancements provide a sustainable and efficient approach to meet the growing demand for lithium by utilizing continental, seawater, geothermal, and oilfield brines.

Key topics on this year’s agenda include:

  • Future trends in lithium demand and the renewable transition
  • Technologies for direct lithium extraction to produce commercial-grade lithium
  • Exploring lithium-rich brine resources in continental, geothermal, and oil & gas reservoirs
  • Designing next-generation lithium extraction facilities to optimize production and minimize cost
  • Developing optimized materials and synthesis methods for large-scale Li production
  • Case studies and regulations, environmental guidelines, and social licensing

This exhibition and conference will provide a forum for all stakeholders, from industrial manufacturers and contractors to lithium producers and major heavy industries, to network, build cross-market relationships and discuss the latest developments in lithium extraction technologies.
