Sizing Up the Challenges in Extracting Lithium from Geothermal Brine

As part of a recently published review, Lab scientists assessed the technology landscape for developing a domestic source of lithium. One of the primary focuses is California’s Salton Sea, where geothermal brine pumped out as part of energy production could become a major source of domestic lithium. https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2021/11/29/sizing-up-the-challenges-in-extracting-lithium-from-geothermal-brine/
