▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - A system for extracting lithium from a liquid resource, includes a lithium-selective ion exchange material, where the lithium-selective ion exchange material absorbs lithium from liquid resource to form a lithium-enriched ion exchange material, an optional wash component configured to remove the liquid resource from the first lithium-enriched ion exchange material, a protonation component configured to contact an acidic solution to the lithium-enriched ion exchange material, where lithium and impurities are eluted from the lithium-enriched ion exchange material to form a first impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution and a partially-eluted ion exchange material, a purification component configured to remove at least some of the impurities from the first impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution to form a lithium-enriched acidic solution, and a fluid connection configured to either contact the lithium-enriched acidic solution with the partially-eluted ion exchange material. USE - System used for extracting lithium from liquid resource. ADVANTAGE - The system is capable of recovering lithium from liquid resources through absorption into ion exchange materials followed by elution using protons to form lithium salt solution. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A system for extracting lithium from a liquid resource, includes a lithium-selective ion exchange material, where the lithium-selective ion exchange material absorbs lithium from liquid resource to form a lithium-enriched ion exchange material, an optional wash component configured to remove the liquid resource from the first lithium-enriched ion exchange material, a protonation component configured to contact an acidic solution to the lithium-enriched ion exchange material, where lithium and impurities are eluted from the lithium-enriched ion exchange material to form a first impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution and a partially-eluted ion exchange material, a purification component configured to remove at least some of the impurities from the first impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution to form a lithium-enriched acidic solution, and a fluid connection configured to either contact the lithium-enriched acidic solution with the partially-eluted ion exchange material, such that lithium and impurities are further eluted from the partially-eluted ion exchange material to form a second impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution having accumulated amount of lithium and the partially-eluted ion exchange material or contact the lithium-enriched acidic solution to a second lithium enriched ion exchange material, where lithium and impurities are eluted from the second lithium-enriched ion exchange material to form a second impurities-enriched lithiated acidic solution having accumulated amount of lithium and a second partially-eluted ion exchange material. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of the system.
