Seawater Mineral Recovery

Extracting magnesium, lithium, and uranium from ocean brine.
Seawater Mineral Recovery

Advanced membrane and solvent extraction technologies are making it feasible to recover critical minerals directly from seawater or desalination plant brine. While concentrations are low, the resource base is virtually inexhaustible, offering a strategic alternative to terrestrial mining for magnesium, lithium, and potentially uranium.
