Abstract

See full text

Boron is effectively removed from brine, including lithium-containing brines, by acidifying the brine to a pH of 0.1 to 6.0 and then contacting the brine with an extraction medium comprising at least a diol having 6 to 20 carbon atoms in an aromatic solvent. The extraction medium may also contain high aliphatic alcohols and/or a phase modifier. The boron can be stripped from the boron rich extractant medium by a re-extraction stage utilizing an aqueous alkaline solution.
