  • Solution Mining and Salt Cavern Challenges- SMRI's Role And
    Solution Mining Research Institute J. Voigt, L. Van Sambeek, R. Schneider Solution Mining and Salt Cavern Challenges, SMRI’s Role and Research Focus Session: Salt production Keywords: brine cavern, cavern storage, cavern design, cavern research, energy storage, abandonment Abstract Solution Mining Research Institute, Inc., (SMRI) is a world-wide, non-profit, member-driven organization with chief role of providing specialized education, technical reference information, and current issue research to those in the solution mining and storage cavern industries. SMRI has for over 50 years been actively researching subjects of current and future interest to our members and the cavern industry. We are helping train and develop your future industry experts and managers. SMRI technical conferences are held two times each year, one each in North America and Europe, where most SMRI member organizations are based and/or have operations. Each conference has a technical class, includes about 20 technical paper presentations, and provides field trip opportunities to see first-hand various mines, brine/salt production and storage facilities, or historic sites/features to learn how they have been operated and managed. This paper will briefly describe 20 SMRI research projects completed since the 9th World Salt Symposium 2009 in Beijing, list SMRI’s currently active research projects or ongoing programs, and discusses our focus on future cavern research on subjects of value to the industry. SMRI research projects and resulting research reports (“RR”s) are funded entirely by SMRI annual membership dues. Research contractors and host research facilities frequently provide critical access and/or services contributed to the projects at zero or reduced cost.

Thank you for being there for me, and your understanding, through the hard times and the good. I am in fact wholly indebted to all my family, particularly my amazing Mama for showing me how to keep going even when the going is tough, and of course my stepdad Dean. Thanks also to Guy for giving me a wonderful place to study in the stunning Essex countryside. To my brother Frase, and Dix and Cos: I am so glad to have you all in my life. I am deeply grateful for the support of my dedicated, and encouraging and insightful supervisors, Professor Karen Hulme and Dr Jane Hindley, who went beyond the call of duty to help me achieve my aims. At Essex and elsewhere, I am incredibly fortunate to count a number of academics and experts in the field as mentors and friends, who continually pique my curiosities and inspire me to continue working in human rights.

  • Global Lithium Sources—Industrial Use and Future in the Electric Vehicle Industry: a Review
    resources Review Global Lithium Sources—Industrial Use and Future in the Electric Vehicle Industry: A Review Laurence Kavanagh * , Jerome Keohane, Guiomar Garcia Cabellos, Andrew Lloyd and John Cleary EnviroCORE, Department of Science and Health, Institute of Technology Carlow, Kilkenny, Road, Co., R93-V960 Carlow, Ireland; [email protected] (J.K.); [email protected] (G.G.C.); [email protected] (A.L.); [email protected] (J.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 July 2018; Accepted: 11 September 2018; Published: 17 September 2018 Abstract: Lithium is a key component in green energy storage technologies and is rapidly becoming a metal of crucial importance to the European Union. The different industrial uses of lithium are discussed in this review along with a compilation of the locations of the main geological sources of lithium. An emphasis is placed on lithium’s use in lithium ion batteries and their use in the electric vehicle industry. The electric vehicle market is driving new demand for lithium resources. The expected scale-up in this sector will put pressure on current lithium supplies. The European Union has a burgeoning demand for lithium and is the second largest consumer of lithium resources. Currently, only 1–2% of worldwide lithium is produced in the European Union (Portugal). There are several lithium mineralisations scattered across Europe, the majority of which are currently undergoing mining feasibility studies. The increasing cost of lithium is driving a new global mining boom and should see many of Europe’s mineralisation’s becoming economic. The information given in this paper is a source of contextual information that can be used to support the European Union’s drive towards a low carbon economy and to develop the field of research.

EV technologies are also projected to take over the bus market. That’s not all. Aside from electric vehicles and e-mobility applications, energy storage systems are also powering lithium growth. But with exponential growth comes pressure on the industry to deliver. Global lithium demand could outpace supply in the coming years — requiring an estimated $10B investment in mining over the next 10 years (source: SQM).
