DuPont de Nemours, Inc. DD has launched an end-to-end Direct Lithium Extraction portfolio aimed at improving lithium recovery and offering solutions for diverse brine resources that will help scale production to meet rising demand. The portfolio comprises more than 20 products spanning the entire lithium brine treatment process, from extraction and purification to final concentration.
The new offering includes lithium-selective sorbents, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, and ion exchange resins into an integrated flowsheet design to tailor solutions to specific customer needs through advanced separation technologies designed to extract lithium effectively and efficiently from brine. Customers can either adopt the complete end-to-end solution or choose individual technologies according to the requirements.
A key feature of the portfolio is its range and flexibility. It includes DuPont AmberSorb adsorbents for both high and low-temperature brine streams, along with FilmTec LiNE nanofiltration and reverse osmosis elements incorporating low salt rejection reverse osmosis technology to enhance lithium concentration. Additional technologies, including IntegraTec, Inge ultrafiltration modules and AmberLite ion exchange resins, are designed to improve lithium yield, purity and concentration.
DuPont is also accelerating the transition from laboratory testing to commercial lithium production through its global research and development capabilities. As the lithium industry increasingly adopts direct extraction technologies, DuPont's integrated DLE portfolio strengthens its position as a technical collaborator while unlocking new lithium resources.
DD’s shares have lost 39.6% over the past year compared with the industry’s 2.8% decline.
