Description

Living Minerals examines the history of lithium mining and extraction during the 20th century, focusing on the two oldest brine-lithium mines at Silver Peak, Nevada and Salar de Atacama, Chile. Author Javiera Barandiaran investigates a critical question facing the electric vehicle industry: is sustainable lithium extraction actually possible? The book explores how lithium exists as one element within complex liquid mixtures of salts, minerals, and organisms, and reveals the environmental challenges that mining experts have overlooked for decades, including water usage and waste management. As consumers increasingly purchase electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries believing they are decarbonising society, this MIT Press publication provides essential context on the true environmental and social costs of lithium mining.

Key Features

Living Minerals from MIT Press examines two centuries of lithium mining at Silver Peak, Nevada and Salar de Atacama, Chile.

Javiera Barandiaran challenges the assumption that sustainable lithium extraction is possible for modern electric vehicle batteries.

The book investigates environmental impacts including water usage and waste generation that mining experts have failed to address for six decades.

Living Minerals explores lithium as one element within complex mixtures of salts, minerals, and organisms in brine deposits.

New store stock edition provides current perspective on the lithium industry's role in the electric vehicle and energy transition landscape.
