An investigation was carried out into the possibility of removing lithium from molten aluminium using insertion compounds. The compounds selected were Li2O. 3TiO2 and Li2O. 2·5 TiO2 and the structure and degree of insertion were studied. It was found that lithium could be incorporated into the structure, then removed electrochemically.
