In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research ...

Rice researchers have developed a process to use PFAS to extract lithium from high-salinity brine pools, described in a study recently published in Nature Water.

Solvent extraction supports the migration of lithium ions from brine into an organic liquid phase that contains a specific ...

A graphene membrane uses sunlight to separate lithium from magnesium-rich brine, achieving 28-fold enrichment without electricity or pumps.

Silicon Valley startup Lilac Solutions has a method to get lithium for batteries that’s cheaper, easier on the environment and less water-intensive than mining: it plans to pull it from the Great Salt ...

Companies, including Exxon and Chevron, are in various stages of extracting brine from underground in northeast Texas to produce lithium, a critical mineral.

Lilac Solutions is pioneering a new type of lithium extraction that could double US production in two years and shake up the industry. BOX ELDER COUNTY, Utah – On a bright afternoon in August, the ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for storing electricity, meaning it’s a key tool for transitioning from ...
