Lilac Solutions
Ion exchange technology for faster, cleaner, more affordable lithium extraction from any brine
About Lilac Solutions
Lilac Solutions develops ion exchange (IX) technology for extracting lithium from brine resources. The company designs proprietary IX materials, equipment configurations, and flowsheets that allow lithium production from high-grade, low-grade, and complex brines, including geothermal, oilfield, salar, and surface-lake resources. Its approach aims to overcome historical cost limitations of ion exchange and to reduce land disturbance and freshwater consumption compared with evaporation-pond methods. Field pilots and demonstrations span the United States, Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, and Europe. Lithium produced with this technology serves battery-grade supply chains for electric vehicles and energy storage. The company designs, engineers,and manufactures its materials and technology in the United States, and works with lithium brine developers across the extraction value chain.
