Uyuni salar brineMagnesiumHydrated magnesium carbonateHydromagnesitePrecipitationUyuni salar (Bolivia), the largest resource of lithium (Li) in the world not only contains a high level of Li but also similar to 13% w/w magnesium (Mg) in strong NaCl brines. The recovery of Mg is therefore ...
582 sq. km) in south-western Bolivia. Unlike traditional deserts, which have sand in abundance, the Salar de Uyuni features vast expanses of glistening white salt. The landscape is entirely flat, bar a few small ‘islands’ such as Isla Incahuasi, which only accentuates its surreal beauty....
These brine deposits are typically found in underground reservoirs beneath salt flats or saltwater lakes. TheSalar de Uyuniin Bolivia is the world's largest salt lake, and the largest lithium source in the world. It stretches more than 4,050 square miles and attracts tourists with its reflective...
which has an extraordinary flatness with the average elevation variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar. The crust serves as a source of salt and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich in lithium. It contains ...

A 220m core from Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, acquired in 1999, ranges in age from 10.98+/-0.055ka (6.9m) to 276+/-21ka (116.5m). Halite was examined for microbes preserved within fluid inclusions which occur throughout the core. Optical criteria used to identify microbes were established ...
A 220 m long salt core, >276 ka, from the Salar de Uyuni is being analyzed for preservation of trapped microorganisms in halite brine inclusions on time scales of 10 (super 3) to 10 (super 5) years. This research is testing whether the preservation of viable microorganisms in fluid ...
