Produktbeschreibung
A laboratory curiosity at first, lithium is now a part of our society. Unknown to most people, it is being used in many practical applications, such as ceramics, greases, electronics, medicine, and hopefully in the future, will be used in a fusion that would solve world's energy problems. While lithium has been the subject of many specific publications, no comprehensive book covering all aspects of lithium has been published so far. This book discusses the original discovery of lithium, its development from a mineral of curiosity to an expanding industry, its geological occurrences, and its various applications, culminating in its present use in the ever-expanding electromotive industry. The author's wonderful and exciting experiences of his long lithium career shared in the book will satisfy the readers' curiosity about this expanding industry.
Autorenporträt
Ihor Kunasz is a world expert on lithium resources and has been involved in the industry for 45 years. He started his career with a doctoral thesis at the Pennsylvania State University on "Origin of Lithium of Clayton Valley, Nevada," where Foote Mineral Co. produced the very first lithium carbonate from brine. As chief geologist of Foote Mineral Co., he evaluated most of the global lithium deposits and brought the two lowest-cost lithium reserves in the world-Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile-to the project development stage. Dr Kunasz has been a resource consultant with the TRU Group of Canada and a member of the National Academy of Sciences' team that compiled the first comprehensive review of lithium reserves and resources of the world. He is active in the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Geology (SME) and, in 1998, became president of the society.
