Very interesting to me that much has been made of the clay source of WLCDF lithium. Most other sources are natural brines. Now I find out that the process includes making a brine, using precipitation and various other processes with liquids.

Somehow I got the impression that WL's clay source enabled a different, I assumed dry, process for producing lithium carbonates and other LI compounds. The Argonne National Laboratory was involved in some way as well. Seems I was mistaken about a dry process.

So what can MB contributors with knowledge of chemistry and industrial processes of lithium tell us from this link?
