Direct Lithium Extraction Symposium
Registration is open until September 30th!
We are proud to announce the upcoming Symposium on Direct Lithium Extraction, a premier event that will bring together leading experts from research and industry. This symposium will delve into the latest advancements and innovative technologies in the field of direct lithium extraction (DLE), fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to drive forward this critical sector.
Topical Overview:
- Liquid / solid Li extraction technologies
- Membrane & precipitation technologies
- Conversion to battery
- Electrochem. Li extraction & Desalination Technologies
- Concentration & Purification of Li-brines
Moreover, we want to promote scientific exchange and networking opportunities by hosting a
- Industry Session
- Poster Session: September 15th
Venue
The symposium will take place at KIT Campus South directly in central Karlsruhe nearby the Karlsruhe castle. The university campus can be readily reached on foot or by tram (stop “Durlacher Tor / KIT” or “Kronenplatz”).
The event will be hosted at the Engler-Bunter Institute (EBI) (building 40.50, Engler-Bunte-Ring 1, 76131 Karlsruhe).
A campus plan can be found here: https://www.kit.edu/campusplan/ (searchable by building and faculty).
