Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for extracting desired chemical species from input flows in a modular unit.
Claims6
An extraction system, comprising:
- a first tank, a second tank, and a third tank;
- an interconnection system for selectively directing an oilfield brine input stream to at least one of the first tank, the second tank, and the third tank;
- an aluminosilicate sorbent material contained within at least one of the first tank, the second tank, and the third tank, in which the aluminosilicate sorbent material extracts at least lithium from the oilfield brine input stream;
- and
- at least one of a purification membrane and a concentration membrane, for processing at least the lithium extracted from the oilfield brine input stream into at least one output stream.
