Abstract
Sorbent compositions for direct lithium extraction (DLE). The sorbent compositions include a lithiated aluminum component and an inorganic binder, and are in the form of shaped particles. The lithiated aluminum component makes up about 50% w/w to about 90% w/w of the sorbent compositions, whereas the binder makes up about 10% w/w to about 50% w/w of the sorbent compositions. Processes for producing the sorbent compositions are also provided, as are methods of using the sorbent compositions for DLE.
