Nowadays, importance of lithium beside cobalt cannot be hidden especially for energy storage systems.Lithium can be found in unexpected area of the world like Zimbabwe, D.R. Congo, Serbia or Afghanistan raising questions on a geopolitical point of view. Some efforts must be done for some countries to reach their true economical potential.From engineering side, a lot of technics are developed and used for the extraction of this commodity of great importance for our era.A great importance must be given to mitigate resources scarcity like recycling. Some developed countries are not investing enough in recycling facilities even if processes are well developed and known.Roger RUMBU, Met. Eng., PPM, TBOM.
