The interview contextualizes the technology map, explaining the importance of water technologies in lithium mining while discussing growing demand in both sectors. With growing demand and urgency, it becomes ever more important that robust, repeatable, and economic solutions are delivered on short lead...

The Use of a Lithium Industry By-Product for Improved Mine Water Management through Dust SuppressionWater scarcity is a major issue worldwide and is a risk factor for many industries including the mining sector. In the mining industry, water is regularly used as a dust suppressant on roads to...
Lithium extraction companies currently use evaporation-based mining. This approach involves pumping brine into large water ponds. Once the brine is added, water is allowed to evaporate,leaving behind lithiumsalts. In the next step, chemicals like HCl are used to refine thelithium. The purified lith...
Because the climate of the Great Plains is arid, water in the aquifer is being used faster than it can be recharged. That's why some scientists refer to using fossil water aquifers as water mining. Groundwater may also exist on other planets. Images from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft...
Whatever the demand for lithium and other critical metals, Simbol’s approach is also a sign of a growing movement towards “clean mining” techniques that also improve the miner’s bottom line, says clean tech analyst Dallas Kachan, managing director at research firmKachan and Co. ...
Demand for lithium for batteries is growing rapidly with the global push to decarbonize energy systems. The Salar de Atacama, Chile holds ∼42% of the planet's reserves in the form of brine hosted in massive evaporite aquifers. The mining of these brines and associated freshwater use has ...
Innovative Solutions to Address the Growing Global Demand for Lithium at the International Desalination and Reuse Association (IDRA) Congress.As the world seeks to power devices from smartphones to electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries, global demand for lithium is expected to increase to nearly...
Mining in Latin America is a large scale, well established activity, Atmos International Sales Engineer, Rodrigo Salgado, writes. Latin America accounts for 50% of the world’s silver production, 40% of the global production of copper and 35% of the world’s lithium.¹ ...
This material is mainly used for mine filling and mining, and the use of powder per unit volume is less, which greatly reduces cost 1,2. The main product of ultra-high water material is ettringite (AFt). In mine filling and mining, mine water is generally used directly. The source of ...
