Read More2018-11-27 The processing of lithium mining involves evaporation of brines and washing the mineral with sodium carbonate in large-scale polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-lined shallow ponds. A failure in of PVC barriers may leak chemical substances such as softeners into the environment and cause water pollution (Wanger 2011). The consequences for human health and native biodiversity may be severe, although
Read More2020-7-1 Lithium development in the lithium triangle. Debates around Li-mining in the lithium triangle have intensified as global interests in low-carbon technologies have increased. In Chile, state officials perceive lithium either as a banal commodity or a strategic resource that can be used as a bargaining chip in global politics (Barandiarán, 2019).
