Knowledge Map Analysis of Lithium Extraction from Salt-lake Brine: A Visual Analysis Using Citespace

Abstract With the rapid development of new energy industry, the demand for lithium is surging, and thus lithium extraction from salt lake is getting more and more attention. Based on WOS database and literature analysis software Citespace, the literatures on lithium extraction from salt lakes from 1999 to 2020 was analyzed. The results show that the field is in a rapid development stage after decades of accumulation. China is in the leading position in the R&D strength and has strong research institutions, but the cross-institutional cooperation is relatively low. At present, the main methods for lithium extraction from salt lake brines are ion exchange adsorption, membrane separation, solvent extraction and electrochemical method, etc. Among them, electrochemical method has received wide attention as an emerging technology, and is one of the lithium extraction methods with great potential for future development.
