Water footprint of battery-grade lithium production in the Salar
We focused our assessment on the cradle-to-gate life cycle of the lithium products – from lithium brine extraction to battery grade Li 2 CO 3 and LiOH within the production site in the SdA and Carmen Lithium Chemical Plant using primary data. The inventory results demonstrate that producing 1000 kg of lithium products requires the extraction of 217 m³ of
