RE:RE:RE:RE:Separation Technique Needs To Cost Effective and Viable So, no plan is actually put together? Should be easy to find a link to the process you say xeimei has developed, gimme. There needs to be a solid business case for production to be realized.
It's likely that there is no proven industrial process to extract lithium from this soil matrix. Experimemtal, sure, but that won't pay the bills. Moreover, this process would need to be economically viable at the lithium grades indicated and at current prices.
You must compete with highly efficient brine production plants already operating in Australia and Chile.
Perhaps the best thing to do is simply sit on the resource and wait for prices to appreciate. No point in moving further into the orphan period if it's not viable right now.
