Description

Advanced Membrane Engineering for Direct Lithium Extraction from Salt Lakes. This project aims to advance the development of innovative, loose-structured nanofiltration membranes using state-of-the-art fabrication techniques to enhance lithium and magnesium extraction from salt lakes. It is expected to generate valuable knowledge for advanced membrane development, focusing on membrane material design and ion transport theory within tailored polymer frameworks. The anticipated outcomes include improved direct lithium extraction technologies and integrated strategies for resource utilisation in salt lakes. This should provide significant benefits to our society by positioning Australia as a leader in lithium production, minimising environmental impact, maximising resource utilisation, and boosting economic prosperity.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Zhikao Li
