Abstract

Russia enjoys large reserves of lithium, enabling it to fully meet the needs of the domestic market with the prospect of developing production of lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, unmanned systems, and portable electronics. Lithium mining is a complex process determined by the climate, the composition of the brine, and the effectiveness of available technologies. Today, Russian lithium extraction technologies are developing in two directions: sorption and extraction. The article, which is based on the materials of the report delivered at the meeting of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences on April 11, 2023, discusses general trends and prospects for improving lithium extraction methods, including liquid–liquid extraction and sorption.
