Guided by its "Dual Carbon" goals, China's salt lake lithium industry has witnessed a groundbreaking eco-innovation. A new green extraction technology centered on "zero chemical additives" and "water resource circulation" has recently completed pilot testing at a major salt lake base, achieving internationally leading levels in comprehensive energy efficiency and environmental benchmarks. This marks a new paradigm for China in setting a global standard for synergistic development between critical mineral extraction and ecological preservation.

The Dual Advantage: Efficiency and Sustainability
Diverging from traditional methods associated with chemical residue and high freshwater consumption, this technology employs a combined pathway of physical screening and selective electrodialysis. The entire process eliminates the need for harmful chemical reagents and achieves over 95% recovery and reuse of water from the brine. This not only minimizes the environmental footprint of lithium extraction but also reduces comprehensive energy consumption per unit product by approximately 30% through its "short-flow" design, truly embodying the principle of extracting economic value within an ecologically sound framework.

Boosting the Global Green Competitiveness of "China Lithium"
Globally, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards are becoming critical thresholds for resource companies accessing international markets and green financing. This breakthrough in green lithium technology significantly enhances the ESG rating and international profile of "China Lithium" products. It endows China's lithium resources with dual competitiveness—"cost advantage" and "green advantage"—in the global supply chain, better aligning with the stringent carbon footprint requirements across the battery material lifecycle demanded by premium markets like Europe and North America.

Cluster Effect in Technology, Leading Industrial Upgrade
This breakthrough is not an isolated incident; it reflects cluster-style advancements in China's high-tech sectors such as membrane materials, separation technology, and automated control. The success of this technological solution will drive growth in upstream high-end membrane manufacturing and intelligent equipment industries, propelling the entire salt lake chemical sector towards comprehensive refinement, higher value-add, and lower carbon emissions. Experts view this as another demonstration of the systemic strengths of Chinese manufacturing within the new energy raw materials sphere, with the resulting technological moat likely to become a key defensive barrier in future industrial competition.
