The brine contains lithium, a silvery white metal essential for making electric vehicle batteries and in high demand as the world shifts to green energy. ... Science & Tech. Sports. Weather. 24/7 ...
Lithium is also found in brown dwarf substellar objects and certain anomalous metal-poor stars. Because lithium is present in cooler, less massive brown dwarfs, but is destroyed in hotter red dwarf stars, its presence in the stars' spectra can be used in the "lithium test" to differentiate the two, as both are smaller than the Sun.

Tianqi Lithium Corp (Chinese: 天齐锂业; pinyin: Tiānqí Lǐ Yè; previously Sichuan Tianqi Lithium Industries, Inc.) is a Chinese mining and manufacturing company based in Sichuan. [ 2 ] As of 2018, the company controls more than 46% of the production of lithium worldwide.
Lithium (e.g. as lithium carbonate) is used as an additive to continuous casting mould flux slags where it increases fluidity, [164] [165] a use which accounts for 5% of global lithium use (2011). [57] Lithium compounds are also used as additives (fluxes) to foundry sand for iron casting to reduce veining. [166]
The Lithium Triangle (Spanish: Triángulo del Litio) is a region of the Andes that is rich in lithium reserves, encompassed by the borders of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile. [1] The lithium in the triangle is concentrated in various salt pans that exist along the Atacama Desert and neighboring arid areas.
I recently talked about this with Tom Chi, once a founding member of Google X and now founding partner at At One Ventures. Why Silicon Valley falls prey to ‘charisma distortion,’ according to ...
The main deposits of lithium are found in China and throughout the Andes mountain chain in South America. In 2008 Chile was the leading lithium metal producer with almost 30%, followed by China, Argentina, and Australia. [31] [32] Lithium recovered from brine, such as in Nevada [33] [34] and Cornwall, is much more environmentally friendly. [35]
Naturally occurring lithium (3 Li) is composed of two stable isotopes, lithium-6 (6 Li) and lithium-7 (7 Li), with the latter being far more abundant on Earth. Both of the natural isotopes have an unexpectedly low nuclear binding energy per nucleon (5 332.3312(3) keV for 6 Li and 5 606.4401(6) keV for 7 Li) when compared with the adjacent lighter and heavier elements, helium (7 073.9156(4) keV ...
