Jiuwu Hi-Tech Showcases Complete Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Solutions at China (Tibet) Lithium Industry Conference

On April 1st, the "2025 China (Tibet) Lithium Industry Conference and the Tenth Lithium Resource Development Forum" opened in Nyingchi, Tibet. The conference, themed "Green Empowerment, Exploring Future Opportunities," focused on upgrading the new energy industry chain and efficient development of salt lake resources. Over 200 representatives attended the event, including Duan Debing, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, Vice Chairman, and Secretary-General of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association; Duojie, former Vice-Chairman of the Tibet People's Congress and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; representatives from the Tibet-Qinghai Industrial Park Administration Committee, research institutions, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain.

As a leading company in salt lake lithium extraction technology in China, Jiuwu Hi-tech deeply participated in the forum as a specially invited co-organizer. The company's Party Secretary, Chairman, and General Manager, Dang Jianbing, was invited to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony. Vice General Manager Wang Xiaohu gave a keynote speech titled "Innovation and Practice of Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Technology," sharing practical experiences in promoting coordinated development of resource extraction and ecological protection through technological iteration.

Technology Leadership and Industry Empowerment in Harmony

Advancing Green Development and Ecological Protection Together

As a significant participant in the global lithium battery industry, Jiuwu Hi-tech has always considered Tibet as a testing ground for technological innovation and a place to fulfill ecological responsibilities. Dang Jianbing stated that since 2013, Jiuwu Hi-tech began its work in the field of salt lake lithium extraction, including selecting membrane separation materials, conducting experiments, developing processes, and exploring industrial parameters. In 2018, the company completed the world's first 10,000-ton annual production all-membrane lithium carbonate EPC project and developed the first generation of high-adsorption capacity powder lithium extraction adsorbent.

Dang Jianbing stated that as a technology leader in the field of salt lake lithium extraction, Jiuwu Hi-tech continues to deepen its industrial layout. In February 2022, the company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tibet Jiuwu, in the Qinghai Golmud Tibet-Qinghai Industrial Park, building an industrial base integrating research and development and production. In 2023, the base completed the construction of the first intelligent production line in China with an annual capacity of 6,000 tons of lithium adsorbent, marking a critical leap for the company from a single membrane lithium extraction supplier to an integrated service provider of adsorption + membrane comprehensive solutions.

This technological breakthrough not only consolidates the company's core technical barriers in the field of salt lake lithium extraction but also promotes the industry into a new era of comprehensive utilization and efficient adsorption. Currently, Jiuwu's adsorption + membrane technology has been applied in more than 95% of lithium carbonate production plants in Qinghai, demonstrating the company's core competitiveness in leading industrial transformation through technological innovation.

Matrix of Innovation in Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Technology

Industrial Practice and Future Prospects

During the forum's speech session, Vice General Manager Wang Xiaohu delivered a keynote speech titled "Innovation and Practice of Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Technology," systematically explaining Jiuwu Hi-tech's latest breakthroughs in adsorption lithium extraction, membrane integration processes, and other fields from four aspects: strategic insights, core technologies, application practices, and future prospects. He also introduced related project cases.

Currently, Jiuwu Hi-tech's business is divided into three new material sectors: ceramic membranes, organic membranes, and adsorbents, as well as four application fields: new energy services, water treatment and resource utilization, industrial fluid separation, and waste gypsum resource utilization. The company has established innovation platforms such as postdoctoral research workstations and obtained nearly 400 authorized patents.

In the field of new energy services, Jiuwu Hi-tech adheres to four "orientations":

• Always oriented towards market demands

  
  

• Always oriented towards the forefront of world science and technology

  
  

• Always oriented towards customers' pressing problems

  
  

• Always oriented towards the strategic needs of the industry chain

The Jiuwu adsorption + membrane system can reasonably allocate equipment water usage and working modes according to energy characteristics, ensuring the smooth flow of the main process. It also looked forward to the development of salt lake lithium extraction in three aspects:

Technological Innovation

Process Improvement: Continuous improvement of existing technologies such as adsorption, membrane separation, and extraction, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs and energy consumption. The combined lithium extraction process coupling adsorption and membrane separation will be more perfected, suitable for diverse salt lake brines;

Popularization of Raw Brine Lithium Extraction: Performance enhancement of adsorbents promotes the global application of "raw brine lithium extraction," achieving high-efficiency, precise lithium extraction, avoiding losses and long cycles of traditional salt field evaporation;

Exploring New Paths: New lithium extraction methods are constantly emerging, opening new ideas for salt lake lithium extraction.

Resource Utilization Upgrade

Diversified Lithium Products: Transition from producing industrial-grade lithium carbonate to battery-grade lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, lithium hydroxide, lithium phosphate, and other diversified products, extending deep processing of lithium metal, and enhancing added value.

Recovery of Associated Resources: Increasing emphasis on the comprehensive recovery of associated resources such as potassium, boron, and magnesium in salt lake lithium extraction projects, improving overall economic benefits.

Strengthening Environmental Sustainability

Reducing Environmental Impact: Lithium extraction processes focus on reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, freshwater consumption, and brine extraction volume, with new processes reducing freshwater use.

Ecological Protection and Restoration: Given the fragile ecology of salt lake areas, project development pays more attention to ecological protection and restoration, balancing industrial development with ecological relationships.

Currently, the global wave of energy transformation is surging, and the lithium battery industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities. As a technology company rooted in China and serving the world, Jiuwu Hi-tech is willing to work with everyone, using membrane separation technology as a link, and lithium adsorbent innovation as a bridge, to co-build a green and low-carbon lithium battery industry chain. Taking this conference as a new starting point, we will paint a magnificent picture of the dance between technology and ecology on the snowy plateau, contributing more "China Answers" and "Tibet Solutions" to the global energy revolution!
