Lithium is used for the production of phones, laptops or electric vehicles: this cellEnjoys
The authors of the new work have created a way to extract lithium from contaminated water that canreduce the cost of metal for the production of electronics.from salt brines using solar evaporation is an expensive process that canlasts for years, and in the course of it, most of the lithium is lost.
A research team at the University of Texas has developed membranes to accurately separate lithium from other ions such as sodium. This greatly improves collection efficiency.
In addition to salt brines, lithium is found in wastewater that is produced during oil and gas production.The researchers said that in just one week, they managed to produce enough lithium to produce 300 electric vehicle batteries or 1.7 million smartphones.
The authors of the new work hope that their method will be suitable for the global tech industry.
