More brines could be mined for lithium with counterintuitive method
Lithium could be selectively extracted from "low quality" brines using a surprising mechanism discovered at the University of Michigan. The technology could help make brine lakes rich in magnesium a ...
New research shows that magnesium and other metals in mine waste can be solubilized and recovered thanks to acid-producing bacteria. Researcher Nathan van Wyk believes that the method has great ...
MGX Minerals Inc.(CNX:XMG)(MGXMF) and engineering partner PurLucid Treatment Solutions have made an advancement in magnesium extraction. The pretreatment removed all of the 76,000 mg/L of magnesium, ...
Researchers have found strong anodic activity in disordered particles of magnesium chromium oxide. Unlike conventional, ordered nanocrystals, the disordered particles reportedly achieved reversible ...
Tiny, disordered particles of magnesium chromium oxide may hold the key to new magnesium battery energy storage technology, which could possess increased capacity compared to conventional lithium-ion ...
Historically, lithium has been produced using two approaches: hard rock mining of spodumene deposits, as seen at the ...
Into each of the 500-odd warplanes produced in the U.S. last week went many times as much magnesium as the total U.S. production of this soft, silvery metal in 1914. And thereby hangs a tale: > Of how ...
