Technology for the Recovery of Lithium from Geothermal Brines

Lithium is the principal component of high-energy-density batteries and is a critical material necessary for the economy and security of the United States. Brines from geothermal power production have been identified as a potential domestic source of lithium; however, lithium-rich geothermal brines are characterized by complex chemistry, high salinity, and high temperatures, which pose unique challenges for economic lithium extraction. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze direct lithium extraction technology in the context of developing sustainable lithium production from geothermal brines. In this paper, we are focused on the challenges of applying direct lithium extraction technology to geothermal brines; however, applications to other brines (such as coproduced brines from oil wells) are considered. The most technologically advanced approach for direct lithium extraction from geothermal brines is adsorption of lithium using inorganic sorbents. Other separation processes include extraction using solvents, sorption on organic resin and polymer materials, chemical precipitation, and membrane-dependent processes. The Salton Sea geothermal field in California has been identified as the most significant lithium brine resource in the US and past and present efforts to extract lithium and other minerals from Salton Sea brines were evaluated. Extraction of lithium with inorganic molecular sieve ion-exchange sorbents appears to offer the most immediate pathway for the development of economic lithium extraction and recovery from Salton Sea brines. Other promising technologies are still in early development, but may one day offer a second generation of methods for direct, selective lithium extraction. Initial studies have demonstrated that lithium extraction and recovery from geothermal brines are technically feasible, but challenges still remain in developing an economically and environmentally sustainable process at scale.

“…Ancak, ilk kurulum maliyeti olarak alınan toplam 110000 USD içeresinde hem membran fiyatı hem de kurulum aşamasındaki tüm makine ve teçhizatın dahil olduğu bilinmektedir. Benzer çalışmalar incelendiğinde [34,35] Kaliforniya'da "Salton Sea" bölgesinde iyon değiştirme yöntemi ile yılda 30000 ton %99,99 saflıkta çinko metali elde edilebilmesinin mümkün olduğunu ve saf çinko üretimi sonucu jeotermal sahadan elektrik enerjisi üretiminden elde ettiği gelirden daha yüksek bir gelir elde edilebileceği hususunu dile getirmiştir. Jeolojik sınır koşulları ve akışkana ait termodinamik değerlerin bölgeden bölgeye farklılıklar göstermesinden dolayı bu çalışmada yapılan fizibilite analizini bire bir karşılaştırma olanağı mümkün olmamaktadır.…”

ÖZBu çalışmanın amacı Biga Yarımadası'nda ticari olarak önem atfedebilecek metal ve mineral içeren jeotermal sahaların jeolojik ve jeokimyasal sınırlarını tanımlayıp, sürdürülebilir bir geri kazanım teknolojisini özgün bir fizibilite analizi ile bütünleştirerek değerlendirmektir. Biga Yarımadası özelindeki jeotermal kaynakların fiziksel özellikleri ve kimyasal kompozisyonları incelendiğinde, yüksek sıcaklığa (T>60°C) ve nispeten asidik pH değerlerine sahip kaynakların yeterli miktarda ticari değere sahip materyali sağlayabileceği öngörülmektedir. Gerçekleştirilen pilot ölçekli fizibilite analizine göre Tuzla jeotermal sahası temel alındığında jeotermal akışkandan günde yaklaşık 22 Kg Li metali üretebileceği hesaplanmıştır. 10 yıllık bir işletme süresi göz önüne alındığında fayda-maliyet oranı (F/M) 3,71 olarak belirlenmiştir. Birden büyük olan bu oran yapılacak geri kazanım yatırımının karlı olduğunu işaret etmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Jeotermal kaynaklar, metal-mineral geri kazanımı, Tuzla, lityum METAL/MINERAL RECOVERY FROM GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES IN AYVACIK-TUZLA REGION ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to identify and analyse the prospective areas in the Biga Peninsula in terms of geothermal waters as a source of commercially valuable materials. Identified potential sources will be evaluated integrating a sample cost analysis for a pilot reclamation process. The review of the geochemistry of geothermal resources in the Biga Peninsula indicates that geothermal waters with high temperature (T>60°C) and slightly acidic pH values will yield sufficiently quantifiable dissolved commercial element concentrations. In this respect, pilot feasibility analysis showed that a geothermal fluid representing Tuzla geothermal resources could produce approximately 22 Kg Li metal per day. Benefit-cost ratio was calculated to be 3.71, showing that such an investment is profitable for a ten years of operation.
