The article considers methods of lithium extraction from geothermal water. The authors present a technological scheme for obtaining lithium products from highly mineralized brines and calculate the quantities of the products obtained. The authors have developed a new design of an adsorber for the absorption of lithium ions by aluminium hydroxide. Also we have calculated the necessary flow rate of geothermal water passing through the adsorber.
