•The Dead Sea holds 9% of the known global land based reserves of lithium.•Tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) was found to be a promising Li precipitating reagent.•Lithium concentration reached 1000–1700 mg/kg in the obtained lithium phosphate precipitate. Lithium and its compounds are widely utilized in ma...
