AALI Hernandez Salar = 556 ppm lithium
AALI Hernandez Salar = 556 ppm lithium Advance Lithium has the rights to use a patent-pending lithium and potassium extraction method for its salars. The first step is to add water to the clay and then agitate it to release the lithium and potassium from the clay. Then using electrical separation, a concentrate would be produced of lithium, potassium and water, followed by adding an organic compound to the concentrate to separate the lithium and potassium from the water.
A key benefit of this extraction method is low energy would be needed, which could be provided using solar power. The lithium extraction methods for other lithium clay deposits need expensive roasters that have high energy costs as the lithium is bound up in other minerals. The water from the method could be recycled and used many times, which is a key difference between other lithium extraction methods from clay deposits which require significant amounts of water that cannot be recycled. No need for acid digestion to liberate the lithium and potassium from other minerals. It truly is a green mining solution to produce lithium crucial for green energy.
