Maximizing Efficiency with Digital Water Analysis: The Role of the SensorFlex™ Platform in Mineral Processing and Metal Refining As an instrumentation technician in a mineral processing facility or hydrometallurgical plant, you’re no stranger to challenging environments. From abrasive materials to corrosive chemicals, ensuring accurate water quality measurements is essential for optimizing processes, maintaining compliance, and [...]
Process Challenges in Extracting Lithium Lithium found in minerals such as spodumene or in brines such as those in salt deserts (aka “salars”) can be difficult to extract. In spodumene, after separation and flotation, further processing of the concentrate may target changing the crystal structure through heat treatment to make it amenable to roasting [...]
Lithium is an Important Resource in Reducing Carbon Emissions Lithium's role in Lithium-Ion batteries makes it a key enabler of vehicle electrification and large-scale energy storage making it an important resource in reducing carbon emissions. It is the lightest metal and when used in a battery, the lithium ion moves with relative ease from anode [...]
