Original Note:
There is no “leaching” here. Lithium rich brine is pumped to the surface and left to evaporate in these ponds. Some reagents are added to aid in precipitating salts but they’re not environmentally dangerous at all. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666790824000296 https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-lithium-mined
