Process Scale-up Lead | Eligentis | Oxford About Eligentis Eligentis is transforming lithium extraction for a sustainable future.
By leveraging an innovative Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology, we are enabling sustainable lithium supply for the global electrification in the decades to come. 60% of global Li reserves are in brines.
Traditional pond evaporation methods are capital-intensive, environmentally damaging and have slow throughput.
DLE mitigates these challenges via selective extraction of Li ions, improving speed, efficiency, and environmental impact.
While early DLE solutions have proven to be commercially viable for high-grade brines, there is significant market demand for higher-performing, cost-effective solutions to unlock lower-grade brine lithium resources.
Our Solution Eligentis’ next-generation sorbent technology delivers high Li uptake capacity, high selectivity, and uses a low-cost manufacturing process.
This combination of high performance and low costs affords access to lower cost and cleaner lithium products for Li-ion batteries.
Sustainability Impact Direct re-injection into aquifers of spent brine minimises water usage No large evaporation ponds or large land disruption Near-original water chemistry after Li extraction with minimal chemical footprint Building a resilient global lithium supply chain provides the backbone for the energy transition Our Story The technology was originally developed by SENFI UK, the Oxford-based R
