KAUST team devises electrically-driven membrane process for seawater lithium mining

Green Car Congress

They precipitated lithium phosphate with a purity of 99.94% directly from the enriched solution, thereby meeting the purity requirements for application in the lithium battery industry. Preliminary economic analysis shows that the process can be made profitable when coupled with the Chlor-alkali industry.

Ionic liquid-enhanced solvent extraction for oil sands bitumen shows high recovery rates, less water use and no tailing water

Green Car Congress

Canadian oil sands are a complex mixture of sand, clays, water, and bitumen. For surface mining oil sands production, a hot water extraction process (HWEP) has been widely applied. In this process, hot water and processing aids are mixed with oil sands to liberate bitumen from the minerals by shearing the oil sand particles.
