Simultaneous Extraction of Lithium and Hydrogen From Seawater

Abstract

An electrochemical cell was constructed and tested for Lithium extraction. The ultimate goal of the proposed research is to demonstrate a novel electrolytic process for extracting Li from seawater, which contains a number of valuable metals (Table1).1 The technical objectives of this research are to construct an electrolytic cell, develop high capacity lithium ion adsorbing materials, design solid electrolytes conducting Li ion subject to concentration and potential gradients, and evaluate the process energy consumption and Li production costs.
