Direct Extraction Lithium Processes: The Challenges Of Spent Brine Disposal
Ignacio Ezama, Camilo de los Hoyos, Pablo Cortegoso, Terry Braun

The significant role of lithium in the continued development and expansion of renewable and clean energy has led to an increase in the demand for projects involving the extraction of lithium from shallow brines, particularly in the ‘lithium triangle’ – Salar de Atacama in Chile, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia and Salar de Hombre Muerto in Argentina – to be developed.

Filter-Pressed Dry Stacking: Design Considerations Based On Practical Experience
Colleen Crystal, Cameron Hore, Ignacio Ezama

Filter pressing is a viable and proven tailings management alternative. Building on the experience at successful dry-stack operations, operating at production rates of up to 30,000 tonnes per day, filter-pressed dry-stacking can be (and is being) considered as an economically feasible tailings management alternative for even higher production rates.
