Tourism promoters charge people $2 apiece to look at the most notoriously polluted mining site in Montana, an old copper pit filled with toxic water that will likely never be cleaned up. The Berkeley ...

A new one‑step, water‑, acid‑, and alkali‑free method for extracting high‑purity lithium from spodumene ore has the potential ...

The study also documented the method’s performance on other battery chemistries. For several common NMC formulations, lithium ...

By using a technique called flash Joule heating, or FJH, scientists can rapidly heat lithium-rich rock to extreme ...

Alkali metals can react explosively with water and it is textbook knowledge that this vigorous behaviour results from heat release, steam formation and ignition of the hydrogen gas that is produced.

Electricity-driven water electrolysis has garnered notable attention as an environmentally friendly method for hydrogen production, with high-purity hydrogen being crucial for addressing the energy ...

Heavy metals get a bad rap. For the most part, it is deserved because they are usually toxic. Except when they aren't. You ...

The estimated 3,000 to 4,000 snow geese that perished in December 2016 in the Berkeley Pit’s toxic water died of both heavy metals and sulfuric acid, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ...

Chemical effects occur in irradiated systems both in the tracks of particles and in background reactions which take place homogeneously. The latter reactions are considered here in some detail for the ...
