The role of clays in fixing lithium / by Starkey, Harry C.(CARDINAL)277458;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 8-11).Lithium, in small amounts, is widespread in clay minerals. It may be present in clays as impurities, as inclusions, in lattice cavities, adsorbed on the surface, or by isomorphous substitution. Isomorphous substitution is the most common occurrence. The clay containing the largest amount of lithium is swinefordite, but this mineral is found in only one location. Hectorite, a trioctahedral smectite, can contain a large amount of lithium and is not uncommon in arid regions. Two type of origin have been postulated for hectorite: hydrothermal alteration of a montmorillonite, which was suggested first and is valid in some cases, and direct precipitation in saline lakes, which has gained support in recent years.

Bottled lightning : superbatteries, electric cars, and the new lithium economy / by Fletcher, Seth,1979-(CARDINAL)503462;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-240) and index."An exploration of the rise of lithium batteries and the impications of the new energy economy"--"Did you know that the tools that have become absolutely integral to your life--our laptop, iPod, and cell phone--are all powered by lithium batteries? Chances are you've got some lithium on your person right now. The third element on the periodic table may also hold the key to an environmentally sustainable, oil independent future. From electric cars to a "smart" power grid that can actually store electricity, letting us harness the powers of the sun and wind and use them when we need them, lithium--metal found only in some of the most uninhabitable places on Earth--setting us on a path toward a carbon-free future. It's also shifting the geopolitical chessboard in profound ways. In this illuminating, entertaining, and timely book, the science reporter Seth Fletcher takes us on a fascinating journey, from the salt flats of Bolivia to the labs of MIT and Stanford, from the turmoil at GM to cutting-edge lithium-ion battery start-ups, introducing us to the key players and ideas in an industry with the powerto reshape the world. Lithium is the thread that ties together many key stories of our time: the environmental movement; the American auto industry, betting it all on the electrification of cars and trucks; the struggle between first-world countries in need of natural resources and the countries where those resources are found; and, finally, a foundering American economy, desperately searching for a green-tech boom to revive it"--

Mental : lithium, love, and losing my mind / by Lowe, Jaime,1976-author.(CARDINAL)492256;
"A riveting memoir and a fascinating investigation of the history, uses, and controversies behind lithium, an essential medication for millions of people struggling with bipolar disorder, stemming from Jaime Lowe's sensational 2015 article in The New YorkTimes Magazine: "'I Don't Believe in God, but I Believe in Lithium': My 20-year Struggle with Bipolar Disorder.""--"A riveting memoir and a fascinating investigation of the history, uses, and controversies behind lithium, an essential medication for millions of people struggling with bipolar disorder. It began in Los Angeles in 1993, when Jaime Lowe was just sixteen.She stopped sleeping and eating, and began to hallucinate--demonically cackling Muppets, faces lurking in windows, Michael Jackson delivering messages from the Neverland Underground. Lowe wrote manifestos and math equations in her diary, and drew infographics on her bedroom wall. Eventually, hospitalized and diagnosed as bipolar, she was prescribed a medication that came in the form of three pink pills--lithium. InMental,Lowe shares and investigates her story of episodic madness, as well as the stability she found while on lithium. She interviews scientists, psychiatrists, and patients to examine how effective lithium really is and how its side effects can be dangerous for long-term users--including Lowe, who after twenty years on the medication suffersfrom severe kidney damage.Mentalis eye-opening and powerful, tackling an illness and drug that has touched millions of lives and yet remains shrouded in social stigma. Now adjusting to a new drug, her pursuit of a stable life continues as does her curiosity about the history and science of the mysterious element that shaped the way she sees the world and allowed her decades of sanity.Lowe travels to the Bolivian salt flats that hold more than half of the world's lithium reserves, rural America where lithium is mined for batteries, and to lithium spas that are still touted as a tonic to cure all ills.With unflinching honesty and humor,Lowe allows a clear-eyed view into her life, and an arresting inquiry into one of mankind's oldest medical mysteries"--
