Lithiumabbau: Saubere Produkte, schmutzige Ränder

»Ohne Eigentumswende bleibt die Energiewende eine Wertschöpfungswende – weg von fossilen Renditen, hin zu mineralischen. Wer bezahlt, ändert sich nicht. Nur die Farbe des Marketings.«

"On sait que les réserves en lithium de l’Allemagne sont plus importantes que les réserves serbes, sauf que le lithium, c’est très polluant, donc l’Allemagne préfère le faire traiter en Serbie que chez elle. Quant aux manifestants, qu’ils soient de gauche ou de droite, peu importe, ils sont tous contre l’extraction du lithium qui est donc très polluant pour leur pays""

L'Union européenne fixe de nouvelles règles sur le recyclage des batteries

> Toutes les batteries introduites sur le marché européen devront désormais être recyclées. Un nouveau règlement européen entre en vigueur, ce lundi 18 août. Les entreprises sont maintenant obligées de garantir le recyclage de toutes les batteries et non plus seulement les petites batteries, celles de mo…

In fact if #LithiumIonBatteries wouldn't be so prevalent they'd be as illegal as black-powder pipe bombs, because they can be even more dangerious...

Not to mention if #Lithium or #Cobalt were properly acknowledged as #ConflictMinerals and included in the #KimberleyConvention noone could produce #LithiumBatteries legally or even buy them...

As absolutely unbelievable police violence continues against protesters in Serbia, you are not hearing anything about it because the EU is deeply invested in Serbia's current autocrat and his kelptocracy selling them access to lithium deposits, the extraction of which will destroy a large chunk of the country's most fertile land.

EU is making a career of supporting human rights abuses for money.

Albemarle says #Chile #lithium plant operating normally after incident last week

By Reuters
August 12, 2025

SANTIAGO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - #LaNegra lithium processing plant in Chile is operating normally after an 'incident' last week, the company told Reuters on Tuesday, after a local lawmaker said authorities had opened an investigation.
There were no injuries and sales of the metal used to make #LithiumIon batteries are not expected to be affected, #Albemarle said, without providing additional details.

"It was not immediately clear if operations had temporarily shut down last week. Albemarle gave no more details of the incident.

"Jaime Araya, who represents the #Antofagasta region where the plant is located in the Chilean Congress' lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, last week sent a letter to Chile's mining regulator and labor office requesting an inspection of the site after receiving a complaint that a pipe containing acid had burst.

"Araya on Tuesday told Reuters he was informed that the labor inspector’s office had opened an investigation.

"A source familiar with Albemarle's operations said such probes are standard procedure and that the plant is operating normally. A second source added that the problem affected only one tank.

"A union leader for plant workers, Elias Torres, said he could not comment because an investigation was underway.
The labor inspector's office said it could not provide information because the matter was under review.

"Albemarle's shares were down slightly in Tuesday midday trading to $80.14.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Albemarle on Monday said its Chief Operating Officer #NethaJohnson will leave the company as part of a management reorganization. Johnson's exit is not connected to the Chilean incident, a source told Reuters."

@LunaDragofelis @CStamp or even better:

#Methanol which allows for a higher energy density without necessitating high-pressure tanks and systems (which in case of a fire can detonate like a pipe bomb)....

  • Also since Methanol is common in nature, it's easily metabolized by microorganisms (so is less of an issue than traditional gasoline) and it burns clean at cold temperatures.

And thus #FuelCell technology with #Methanol allows for the swiftness of #refueling with the cleanness of #electric propulsion whilst saving a lot in deadweight compromised mostly of conflict minerals like #cobalt and #Lithium.

Ja, heutzutage ist Recherche eher uncool in bestimmten Kreisen.
Ich hab mal diesen Threat zum Anlass genommen und recherchiert zum Thema #Lithium und Wasser und Ernährung und Wohlbefinden und Demenz, - ich wurde hier fündig:

zzgl. dem Artikel aus dem Standard von Dir.

In den wissenschaftlichen Artikeln kann man auch bei den Quellen gut weiter recherchieren, sie sind immer am Ende aufgeführt. Und wer die wissenschaftlichen Artikel nicht auf englisch lesen will, kann z.B. den Firefox-Translator benutzen.

Es gibt viele Artikel aber ansich beziehen sich sich alle auf die selben Studien.
