Abstract

The growing demand for lithium for lithium-ion batteries and energy storage systems has driven the exploitation of natural brines in the “Lithium Triangle” (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia). However, the presence of boron, which is highly soluble and exhibits amphoteric behavior, poses a critical challenge to achieving battery-grade purity standards (
