Solvent extraction of lithium (Li) from salt lake brine was investigated by employing tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMI-TFSI). High extraction efficiency of Li was obtained from the brine containing co-existed metals. The extraction of Li was proceeded by solvation of Li with TBP followed by cation exchange with the ionic liquid. The purity of Li was increased to 85.1% after two extraction – stripping processes of the present extraction system.
