    Abstract: Systems and methods use ion exchange to extract lithium from a lithium-containing feed solution such as a salar brine. Lithium ions are loaded into an ion exchange resin and then eluted while recharging the resin. Sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate may be used to recharge the resin but are not directly mixed with the lithium-containing feed solution. An eluate stream is produced containing lithium hydroxide or lithium bicarbonate. Lithium hydroxide can be precipitated as lithium hydroxide or in a hydrate form. Lithium bicarbonate may be converted to lithium carbonate. The system and method optionally includes processing an eluate stream to recover one or more compounds for re-use in regenerating the resin bed.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for analyzing the metal impurity content that includes passing water to be analyzed through a monolithic organic porous anion exchanger, thereby allowing the monolithic organic porous anion exchanger to capture metal impurities in the water to be analyzed; passing an eluent through the monolithic organic porous anion exchanger which has been allowed to capture metal impurities in the water to be analyzed, to collect an effluent, thereby obtaining a collected eluent containing metal impurities in the water to be analyzed eluted from the monolithic organic porous anion exchanger; and measuring the content of each metal impurity in the collected eluent.
