OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, April 16 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Chemists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a more efficient way to extract lithium from waste liquids leached from mining sites, oil fields and used batteries. They demonstrated that a common mineral can adsorb at least five times more lithium than can be collected using previously developed adsorbent mat . . .
