Room-temperature ammonium bifluoride method separates lithium, aluminum and silica from spodumene with minimal waste, paving the way for Rock Zero commercialization Spodumene is a lithium-rich mineral ...

Demand for lithium has surged in recent years as lithium-ion batteries power increasingly more of our world. And yet, even as places like the U.S., Europe, and Australia have abundant lithium ...

Startup Rock Zero is commercializing the research, which could cut costs and carbon emissions from lithium production. Researchers say they’ve found a new way to extract lithium, a crucial metal used ...

A pale-yellow mineral rock sits on pieces of wood. Extracting lithium from the mineral spodumene (shown) requires a lot of energy and generates waste. A new refining process aims to be better for the ...
