Chemistry World reported that researchers in Japan have possibly found a way to extract lithium from a salt lake brine using hydrated titanium oxide.
According to the publication:
An evaporation process can produce lithium carbonate from brine, but this takes several months. One complication is that brine is a mixture of many different salts, including magnesium salts. Because lithium and magnesium cations have similar ionic properties, they are extremely difficult to separate from each other.
