Against the backdrop of an accelerating global energy transition, lithium, as a critical resource, is undergoing a profound transformation in its development approach. Traditional evaporation methods, constrained by long cycles and limited resource adaptability, can no longer meet the industry’s dual demands for efficiency and scale. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) has therefore emerged as a key direction in recent technological evolution.

Against the backdrop of rapid expansion in the global new energy industry, the development cycle, cost, and stability of lithium resource projects directly determine investment returns and market competitiveness. Traditional brine lithium extraction projects are generally characterized by long timelines, poor process adaptability, and inefficient supply chain coordination, typically requiring 18 to 24 months from design to commissioning.

Against the backdrop of surging global demand for lithium resources driven by the new energy industry, brine lithium extraction, one of the core sources of lithium supply, is undergoing rapid technological evolution that is reshaping the industry landscape.

Amid the rapid growth of the new energy industry, lithium resources—often referred to as “white oil”—are becoming increasingly strategic. Despite the sufficient lithium reserves worldwide, lithium extraction from brine has long been constrained by high magnesium-to-lithium ratios, low lithium concentrations, and harsh operating environments.

Over the past six months, Bichemical Technology Limited has made remarkable strides in technological innovation, securing six new patents related to lithium extraction, including both utility model and invention patents. These achievements underscore our commitment to advancing Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) capabilities and overcoming the long-standing technical barriers in the industry, positioning BICHEM at the forefront of next-generation sustainable lithium extraction solutions.
