To extract the so-called “Green Lithium”, the GreenLit molecular recovery technology imported from the United States will be used, the development of which has involved more than a decade of GE research in conjunction with American and Japanese companies, at a cost of more than US $ 10 million .
The result of this process, which will allow the extraction of 95% of the lithium contained in the brines, a much higher yield than that exhibited by current processes, which only extract 40% of the mineral and the remaining lithium ends up being dumped in waste salt tailings.
