The rise of environmentally friendly Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology is positioning it as a next-generation solution for lithium procurement, being more eco-friendly and efficient than traditional brine evaporation methods. High-performance membranes are central to this process.

The translation emphasizing key points is as follows:

"The emergence of the eco-friendly Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology is drawing attention as a next-generation method for securing lithium, as it is more environmentally friendly and efficient than the conventional brine evaporation method. High-performance membranes are utilized as a core material in this process.

Key factors include the pursuit of DLE technology demonstration projects in North America by major companies like POSCO Holdings, the fact that DLE boasts high water recycling rates (up to 98%) and better energy efficiency compared to traditional methods, and the crucial role of adsorption/membrane separation technology in the DLE process.

UPEX's membrane products are applicable to advanced industrial filter fields, including DLE, and can present a future growth engine."
