In Nevada can begin "lithium fever» Bashny.Net

The largest deposits in the world can not cope with the growing demand for lithium. Nevada, the only place in North America where it is mined, may again become a place of fever, but this time not gold, and lithium.

Twenty one million sixty two thousand one hundred fifty



Bolshaya part of the lithium is mined in Argentina, Chile, Australia and China. The biggest suppliers of unsuccessfully trying to meet the growing demand, but lithium continues to rise. Therefore, the miners began to pay attention to Nevada, in particular, on underground waters of the valley Clayton, Nevada, rich in dissolved lithium. They hope to drill wells, to pump rich in this metal water and to evaporate it in special ponds, leaving lithium salt which is so necessary to all.

According to Bloomberg, a minimum of 6 startups have recently purchased or rented a piece of land in Clayton valley, near the town of Goldfield emerging in the early twentieth century heyday, thanks to the gold rush. That's only in contrast to the extraction of lithium from the ore, evaporation is a complex chemical process, and if something goes wrong, then the resulting crystals no one will buy.

Sixty one million seven hundred seventeen thousand eighty six



However, if these difficulties are overcome, Nevada will once again be a source of valuable to the economy of metal, more useful than gold.

Almost every day in the news there are reports of the development of new technologies for energy storage. In Germany, building the accumulator in Britain — cryogenic storage, Stanford learned to use cheap urea. However, lithium-ion batteries still remain the most effective set of qualities. published
