Examining the potential environmental effects of mining the world's largest lithium deposit
79% Informative
The world's largest known lithium deposit exists within a vast salt pan called the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia .
Researchers conducted the first comprehensive chemical analysis of wastewater associated with mining the resource.
The findings could inform strategies to manage future mining operations more sustainably and protect the fragile salar environment.
The lithium-mining industry has indicated these approaches can counteract land subsidence.
One potential solution would be to carefully blend spent brine with wastewater to achieve a chemical balance with the natural brine.
Future studies should further investigate the environmental implications of that strategy.
For their part, Williams and Vengosh are turning their attention to the origin of lithium.
