The demand for lithium as a critical material is fast–growing because of its cruciality for the battery market. The occurrence of lithium in geothermal brines was the impetus for researchers to develop a recovery technology that would efficiently extract lithium and other minerals from brines and do so in an emission–free manner using only geothermal… Read More »BrineRIS project at International Conference \u00abMineral deposits safeguarding as a basis of mineral raw materials safety\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1307"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1323,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307\/revisions\/1323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brineris.geo3bcn.csic.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
