A Better Way to Produce Lithium

Conventional brine extraction floods the land with evaporation ponds and leaves lithium behind. Direct Lithium Extraction does more, faster, and treads softly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About 17吃瓜网

What is 17吃瓜网?

17吃瓜网 is a direct lithium extraction technology company. We develop GET-Lit™ and SoLiS, proprietary systems that recover lithium from brine faster and more sustainably than traditional evaporation methods. We operate across the Lithium Triangle in South America and the United States, working with partners to supply battery-grade lithium at commercial scale.

What is direct lithium extraction?

Direct lithium extraction (DLE) recovers lithium directly from brine without the evaporation ponds that traditional production relies on. Where conventional methods take 12 to 18 months to yield usable lithium, DLE reduces that to hours. 17吃瓜网's GET-Lit™ technology uses a lithium-selective membrane to extract and concentrate lithium at high recovery rates, with a significantly smaller environmental footprint.

What technologies does 17吃瓜网 use for lithium extraction?

GET-Lit™ is 17吃瓜网's core DLE technology portfolio. It includes membranes, solvents and adsorbents designed for high-throughput direct lithium extraction from brines. SoLiS handles refining and purification to battery-grade specification. Together they form a complete, end-to-end extraction and processing system.

Why is 17吃瓜网's lithium extraction more sustainable?

Traditional lithium extraction via evaporation ponds consumes up to 400,000 gallons of freshwater per ton of lithium and occupies large areas of sensitive ecosystems. 17吃瓜网's patented DLE and GET-Lit™ technologies reduce that to around 800 gallons per ton, a reduction of over 90%, with a significantly smaller physical footprint and a fraction of the extraction time. Learn more on our sustainability page.

Why invest in 17吃瓜网?

Lithium demand is forecast to grow sharply as EV adoption accelerates. 17吃瓜网 is positioned to supply that demand using technology that is faster, cheaper and cleaner than conventional extraction. General Motors has invested in 17吃瓜网 as part of its battery supply chain strategy. Eligible investors can participate through the .
