Lithium, this silvery-white metal, has become the lifeblood of the modern world, powering everything from smartphones to ...

Mitico thinks that it has found a way to slash the cost of carbon capture using a simple salt that’s been tweaked for industrial duty.

The concentrated lithium carbonate salts are driven in great convoys of trucks to the city of Antofagasta on the coast, where they are purified and exported to be made into batteries — and end ...

You filter the mixture to remove the excess base/carbonate/metal to obtain the pure salt solution. The pure solution can drip through the filter paper into the beaker below, leaving the insoluble ...

This contract means income according to the resources and, in addition, less than 2% of all the salt we have is going ... to produce 14,000 tons of lithium carbonate per year in the Salar de ...

The insoluble reactant chosen depends upon the particular salt required. For example, copper does not react with dilute acids, so copper salts are made using copper oxide or copper carbonate, not ...

"This is one of the first demonstrations of microbial dissolution of calcium carbonate at a higher pH," said Karrie Weber, professor of biological sciences and Earth and atmospheric sciences.

The salt crystals dissolve easily in water ... harbor subsurface oceans or liquid reservoirs. They expect sodium carbonate and halite will be found in surface deposits on Ceres, in water plumes ...
