About the Project
SEArcularMINE will prototype an innovative integrated process aimed at recovering energy and critical raw materials such as magnesium, lithium, rubidium and other trace elements, from waste brines in Mediterranean basin saltworks. The project will target very low energy consumption, alongside using novel technology to generate electricity from salinity gradients of seawater. The circular approach maximises resource efficiency and economic viability.
