New research reveals that lithium-rich brines have a chemistry dominated by boron, fundamentally different from typical saline waters.
A new study published in Science Advances reveals a surprising twist: much of the world’s lithium is found in salty waters with a chemistry unlike that of other natural saline waters, such as the ocean. This discovery could reshape the future of lithium mining and improve how we manage wastewater from extraction processes.
