While most of the world's lithium still comes from countries like Australia, Chile and China, Arkansas could change that. The state is home to the Smackover Formation, a geological formation rich in lithium brine. "Lithium resource quality is really what makes this a great region," said Wesl...
Saltworks’ comprehensive ZLD plants are deployed in the mining industry where they treat mine effluent and produce clean water while reducing all contaminants to a solid salt in a crystallizer. The same technology is under the hood of America’s first lithium battery recyclers. Meanwhile, at ...
lower usage of fresh water, which can be one of the deciding factors when applying for a mining concession in a region with scarce water resources lower reagents usage and increased product purity (in terms of magnesium, calcium, and boron) compared with con...
Lithium-bearing brines are legally considered as water and mineral resources and ruled by abundant federal legislations that neglect the intrinsic nature of the resource: saline waters stored within the salt pan underground. Consequently, legislation in the context of brine-type lithium mining defines ...
Just like most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate (蒸发), leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use ...
Avenues for overcoming business challenges such as the growing social, environmental, and regulatory pressure to ensure safer and more sustainable operations with efficient water usage and minimal environmental hazards. How mining companies can minimize operating costs by improving the reliability of plant...
Lower capital and operating costs due to streamlined flowsheet and lower reagent usage Sustainability Sustainable and safe process as residues are inert and readily neutralizedSoaring demand for lithium The demand for lithium is predicted to triple over the next decade, according to forecasts. Electri...

The Global Lithium Mining Market Share by Application: To Get more Insights, Request a Free Sample Regional analysis Currently, Asia-pacific and U.S are expected to have a higher growth rate in the lithium mining industry, where the U.S was growing at the rate of 3.2%. The usage of Lith...
However, current mainstream direct lithium extraction technology via adsorption suffers from sluggish kinetics and intensive water usage, especially in arid/semiarid and cold salt-lake regions (natural land brines). Herein, an efficient proof-of-concept integrated solar microevaporator system is developed...
