Strategic Partnership between Saint-Gobain Ceramics and Eurodia Industrie for Direct Lithium Extraction

Saint-Gobain Ceramics/FR, a global leader in materials and solutions for sustainable industries, and Eurodia Industrie/FR, a process engineering specialist in liquid purification technologies, announced a strategic partnership to provide integrated solutions for the fast-growing Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) market. The collaboration combines Saint-Gobain Ceramics’ advanced lithium-selective adsorbent materials with Eurodia’s proprietary system engineering and process expertise, enabling an enhanced offering to DLE operators worldwide. The goal is to accelerate the commercial deployment of high-efficiency, sustainable lithium extraction systems proven at scale that minimize environmental impact and support the global electrification and energy transition.

“Combining Saint-Gobain Ceramics’ expertise in materials science with Eurodia’s process engineering creates a powerful offering for lithium producers,” said Othman Benjelloun-Touimi, CEO of Saint-Gobain Ceramics. “Together, we’re enabling the lithium industry to achieve sustainability and performance.”

Direct Lithium Extraction is a transformative approach to sourcing lithium from brines with greater selectivity, achieving over 90 % Li+ recovery versus 43 % recovery via evaporation methods. These systems have the potential to shorten processing time, reduce direct land use, and conserve basin water balance by reinjecting spent brine compared to conventional evaporation ponds. As global demand for lithium surges—driven by electric vehicles, stationary storage, and grid-scale batteries—scalable, low-impact extraction methods are critical.

Saint-Gobain Ceramics’ lithium adsorbents are the result of extensive R&D in ceramics and selective ion exchange materials. Engineered for high capacity, selectivity, and durability, these adsorbents are optimized for repeated use in cyclic adsorption/desorption processes, a core mechanism in DLE operations.
