How long will lithium reserves last with active exploitation?

If a commercial scale exploitation producing 1000 tons yearly of Li 2 CO 3 or more is active on a salar, the total amount of lithium will considerably decrease in the time span of the active exploitation (several decades).

What are the largest lithium deposits found in?

The largest lithium deposits are found in continental brines in desertic areas. Current mining practices are water intensive and produce large volumes of waste. Future technologies should analyse chemistry and geology of the individual deposits. The electrification of our world is driving a strong increase in demand for lithium.

How many lithium exploitation facilities are there in the world?

There are 8 active lithium exploitation facilities from brine worldwide. Among these, 3 Chinese plants are at the piloting stage and do not produce lithium permanently.

Are lithium mining companies drying out the Puna plateau?
