  3. Australian lithium miners want more value from Chinese-dominated battery supply chain
    By Clint Jasper

    Until recently, Australian lithium miners were digging up their ore and selling to China for processing into battery materials. Now, a handful of them are trying to get a bit more value out of that supply chain.

  5. Say good bye to cryogenic chilled propellant in your rocket!

    Rocket Boffins@ NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently fired up a magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster (aka "electric thruster") that runs on lithium metal vapor.

    This prototype achieved power levels (120 kilowatts) beyond the highest-power electric thrusters on any of the agency’s current spacecraft.

    Fully developed and paired with a nuclear power source, they could support payloads required for human Mars missions. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-fires-u #NASA #JPL #Princeton #ElectricPropulsion #Rockets #Space #Mars #Lithium #Thruster #RocketThruster #electromagnetic #magnetoplasmadynamic

  7. “A #telescope in #Chile has captured evidence of the impact caused by part of a SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket slamming into the moon while travelling at 8,690km/h (5,400mph).

    The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope observed “spectral lines” – a colourful illustration of the #sodium and #lithium gas – in the plume of #LunarDust stirred up by the impact.

    The #ESO telescope recorded these “chemical fingerprints” of the plume, which were visible for five to 10 minutes, the #observatory said. The #plume measured a few tens of kilometres in size, according to #CarlSchmidt, an astronomer from #BostonUniversity’s Center for #SpacePhysics.”

  9. Dans l’Allier, la plus grande mine de lithium d’Europe s’attaque à une forêt pleine d’espèces protégées

    Source @Reporterre (reportage)

    A Échassières, la multinationale d’extraction minière Imerys a lancé la plus grande mine de lithium d’Europe au beau milieu des bois. Sur place, certains habitants et naturalistes craignent de voir le territoire « pourri et dévasté » par les nuisances pour les habitant⋅e⋅s (circulation de camions, pompages d’eau, etc.).

  11. Gospic lithium-processing project must undergo a full environmental assessment

    Croatia's environment ministry ruled that Jedro DS Innovation's planned #lithium processing facility in Gospic requires a full environmental-impact assessment because of water risks in the karst area.

  13. Western Australia, hard-rock mining is powered by diesel-run machinery, which creates a lot of localized and atmospheric pollution. In theory it could operate with battery power, but the mining industry is not yet decarbonized. The container ships that transport Australian lithium to China are powered by bunker fuel, a very polluting form of fossil energy, and processed in coal-powered refineries. That’s probably the most polluting, most carbon-intensive part of the lithium sector."

  17. Für ein Kilogramm Lithiumgewinnung werden 2.000 Liter Wasser benötigt. Und das oft in wasserarmen Regionen.

    Gleichzeitig liegen viele Millionen Mobiltelefone in Schubladen. Ein Wahnsinn!

  29. Japan has developed a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries

    "At the heart of the process is a clever chemical tweak; instead of using standard sodium hydroxide, the team swapped in recovered lithium hydroxide during recycling, which is a white powder. This helps convert battery waste, known as ‘black mass’, into high-purity lithium that can be reused in new batteries. Even better, the process isn’t just efficient, it’s better for the environment too, because researchers say it can cut carbon emissions by around 40 percent compared to conventional recycling techniques."

  32. Kennzeichen E - Der Podcast für #elektrischeMobilität:

    KE013 #Lithium aus #Deutschland: Bald in unseren #EAuto ##Batterien? / Mit dem E-Auto ins Ausland: Worauf muss man achten?

    In dieser Folge nehmen Christina und Jürgen einen Rohstoff unter die Lupe, ohne den bei E-Autos gar nichts geht: Lithium. Der Lithiumabbau steht immer wieder in der Kritik.

    Woran das liegt und ob Lithium aus Deutschland eine Alternative sein könnte, erfahrt ihr hier. Pünktlich zur Urlaubszeit geht es auch darum, was es zu beachten gibt, wenn man mit dem E-Auto ins Ausland fährt: Wie funktioniert das mit dem Laden?

    Welche Besonderheiten gibt es? Außerdem besprechen die beiden wieder einen E-Auto-Mythos: Die Reichweite von E-Autos ist viel geringer als von Herstellern angegeben?!

    Bei Kennzeichen E geht es um die News aus der Welt der E-Mobilität.
