Prof. Volker Presser in 3sat nano: Lithium Extraction from Mine Water



A team from the 3sat channel filmed a report on lithium extraction from mine water at the INM for the science program “nano”.

Volker Presser, head of the Energy Materials Program Division, and Karsten Moh, head of the INM Innovation Center, accompanied the reporter and her team to the Reden mine to explain on site how lithium gets into the mine water and in what quantities mine water is available. In the laboratories, the Presser Group demonstrated how lithium is extracted from mine water using electrochemical processes.
