Seawater contains most the elements from the periodic table, but as 99% of seawater salts consist of just 6 ions: chloride (Cl−), sodium (Na+), sulfate (SO24−), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), and potassium (K+), the remaining ions are known as Trace Elements (TEs)...
One of the key Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) that SEArcularMINE technology will recover from seawater bitterns is Lithium. SEArcularMINE partners Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnologica (iBET) based in Lison, Portugal have been innovating a novel electromembrane process called Lithium Membrane Flow Capacitive Deionization (Li-MFCD)...
This August, Fabrizio Vicari from SEARcularMINE partner ResourSEAs has been sampling super concentrated seawater from Margherita di Savoia (Puglia), the largest saltwork in Italy...
We invite you to watch Serena Randazzo from UNIPA introduce the SEArcularMINE project when she attended the CRM day at Raw Materials Week 2021 in Brussels.
