The Environmental Impact of Lithium Batteries - IER
Processing of Lithium Ore. The lithium extraction process uses a lot of water—approximately 500,000 gallons per metric ton of lithium. To extract lithium, miners drill a hole in salt flats and pump salty, mineral-rich brine to the surface. After several months the water evaporates, leaving a mixture of manganese, potassium, borax and lithium ...

LIT is Looking for the 'Holy Grail' of Lithium Processing
The way the L-Max method works (in a nutshell) is that LIT grinds its lithium mica into a fine powder and digests it in a sulphuric acid solution at 90 degrees centigrade. It then strips out all the metals (which can be sold and can be thought of as 'credits' in the process), including lithium, and leaves them in the solution.
