Wow interesting for sure.

Leveraging this principle, Dr. Hlova’s team developed MELLT. This process involves placing solid spodumene chunks and a solid reactant chemical, such as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), into a chamber with steel balls. The chamber undergoes various movements, subjecting the materials to rapid and repeated shear and impact forces. This sustained stress ultimately creates high-energy states within the chemicals, triggering reactions that result in water-soluble lithium compounds. These compounds are then extracted using a simple water wash.
