Towards a higher level of circularity in lithium brine mining: CO <sub>2</sub> absorption in concentrated brines
Carbonate anions are formed following CO 2 absorption in real brines made alkaline via electrolysis. The addition of soda ash is thus fully replaced in the lithium carbonate crystallization process, resulting in a more sustainable mining process.
