Lithium is one of the most critical elements owing to its use in Lithium ion batteries LIB for traction batteries in vehicles stationary storage in electricity grids and consumer electronics In 2017 batteries comprised 46 percent of total lithium by end use and were expected to account for 95 percent by 2030 [2 3]
During the evaporation process a slurry of hydrated lime Ca OH 2 is added to the brine to precipitate out unwanted elements particularly magnesium and boron as magnesium hydroxide and calcium boron salts When lithium concentration reaches a certain point the brine is pumped to a recovery facility to extract the metal a process that usually includes the following steps
The most common precipitation chemicals used for extraction are lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide Filtering and drying The salts are filtered and dried to produce pure lithium Environmental Impact The primary problem is sustainability—the amount of water it consumes Mining one ton of lithium takes about 500 000 gallons of water
