Abstract
The disclosure relates to a system (10) for recovering lithium from lithium-containing fluids. It is provided that the system (10) comprises a first container (12) which contains a first sorbent (14) which is designed to bind lithium ions by adsorption, that the system (10) comprises a second container (16) which contains a second sorbent (18) which is designed to bind lithium ions by exchanging hydrogen ions for lithium ions, and that a fluid outlet of the first container (12) is fluidically connected to a fluid inlet of the second container (16).
Claims14
A system (10) for recovering lithium from lithium-containing fluids, comprising at least:
- a first container (12), in particular a first column (12), which contains a first sorbent (14) that is designed to bind lithium ions by adsorption, and a second container (16), in particular a second column (16), which contains a second sorbent (18) that is designed to bind lithium ions by exchanging bound hydrogen ions for lithium ions, and wherein a fluid outlet of the first container (12) is fluidically connected to a fluid inlet of the second container (16).
