brine recovery is a time consuming process. Water is pumped to the
surface and into a series of evaporation ponds. Over a period of
months, the water slowly evaporates and a variety of salts precipitate
out, leaving a brine with an ever-increasing
Lithium extracted by brine recovery requires enormous amounts of water to produce a single ton. The creation of the infrastructure required to produce "clean” energy is a ecological disaster in the making. In fact locals in South America say that already there has been irreversible damage to the aquifers in the deserts.
