String-Based Technology to Revolutionize Lithium Production
Recently, scientists have developed a groundbreaking string-based technology with the potential to transform lithium production.
Key Points
- String-Based Extraction: Engineers developed a method using porous fibers twisted into strings.
- These strings have a core that attracts water (hydrophilic) and a water-repellent surface (hydrophobic).
- Capillary Action: When one end of the string is dipped in a saltwater solution, capillary action draws water up the string's core, similar to how trees transport water from roots to leaves.
- Efficient Extraction: As the water evaporates from the string's surface, it leaves behind salt ions, including lithium.
- Over time, sodium chloride and lithium chloride crystals form and ....
