Abstract

This invention relates to a particulate extraction material for the extraction of lithium from a geothermal brine or lithium containing solution. The particulate material includes an inorganic or polymer based substrate that includes a lithium aluminate intercalate layer applied to the exterior of the substrate, wherein the lithium aluminate intercalate layer is operable to capture lithium ions from solution.
