Claim 21:
22. A method of generating a lithium eluate solution from a liquid resource, comprising:
a) providing an ion exchange reactor comprising a tank, ion exchange particles that selectively absorb lithium from said liquid resource and elute said lithium eluate solution when treated with an acid solution after absorbing lithium ions from said liquid resource, one or more particle traps, and provision to modulate pH of said liquid resource;
b) flowing said liquid resource into said ion exchange reactor thereby allowing said ion exchange particles to selectively absorb lithium from said liquid resource;
c) treating said ion exchange particles with an acid solution to yield said lithium eluate solution; and
d) passing said lithium eluate solution through said one or more particle traps to collect said lithium eluate solution.
